Question 1008030: To eliminate the x-terms and solve for y in the fewest steps, by which constants should the equations be multiplied?
First equation: 6x − 5y = 17
Second equation: 7x + 3y = 11 Answer by fractalier(6550) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! For the pair of equations...
First equation: 6x − 5y = 17
Second equation: 7x + 3y = 11
multiply the top one by 7 and the bottom one by -6 and add the equations. That eliminates the x's.
