Write a system of equations in which both equations must be multiplied by a number other than 1 or -1 before using elimination. Solve the system.

Solution

Verified
Step 1
1 of 2

System:

3x+2y=53x+2y=5

4x+5y=94x+5y=9

Multiply first equation by 4. Multiply second equation by -3.

12x+8y=2012x+8y=20

12x15y=27-12x-15y=-27

Add equations.

7y=7-7y=-7

Divide both sides by -7.

y=1y=1

Sub y back into first equation.

3x+2(1)=53x+2(1)=5

Subtract 2 from each side.

3x=33x=3

Divide each side by 3.

x=1x=1
