-3x+7y=-16
-9x+5y+16
Part A: Create an equivalent system of equations by replacing one equation with the sum of that equation and a multiple of the other. Show the steps to do this.
Part B: Show that the equivalent system has the same solution as the original system of equations.


- 3x + 7y = - 16 -------- eq (i)

- 9x + 5y =   16 -------- eq (ii)

Is the 2nd plus sign in the 2nd equation supposed to be "="? If so, then the most convenient method is to:

1) Multiply eq (i) by - 3, creating eq (iii)

2) Sum eqs (iii) &  (ii), thus eliminating x

3) Determine the value of y.
