Consider the system of equations
\(\begin{align*} 5x - 2y &= 16, \\ 15x - 7y &= 51. \end{align*}\)
Multiply the first equation by some constant, so that in the resulting equation, the coefficient of matches the coefficient of in the second equation.
Enter the entire equation that results from multiplying the first equation by the constant.
+118608 Here is a hint:
Use the elimination method
Multiply the first one by 3
then subtract the second one from the first one. That will get rid of the x'es
Then you solve for y
etc
You can ask for more help but show evidence that you have done something.
No one else answer over me.
+36915 so that in the resulting equation, the coefficient of ?? matches the coefficient of ??
Not answering over Melody....just pointing out the missing info in your Q
Melody helped you if the ?? is 'x'
if the ?? is 'y' you would multiply the first equation by 3.5 ....
