I just answered one just like this for you. Use the same process, but you need to find your own appropriate multiplier.

Here easiest to multiply both sides of equation 2 by 2.

Add these equations.



Using original system again, multiply both sides of equation 1, by 3.

Add these equations.



Not the only way to use Elimination Method for the example.

Solve the following System of Linear Equations using the Elimination Method
-6x-4y=10
3x+12y=15
Show all your work and answer 
- 6x -  4y = 10 ------ eq (i)

  3x + 12y = 15 ------ eq (ii)

Factor out a 2 in eq (i) to get: - 3x - 2y = 5 ----- eq (iii)

ADDING eqs (ii) & (iii) ELIMINATES x. Solve for y to get its value.

Substitute the value of y in any of the 2 equations to get the value of x.
