Problem 56 of 7
Solve the system by elimination, multiplying both equations first: 5x - 2y = 12, 2x + 3y = 1.
Using a hint is okay. It just tells the trainer to give you a little more review.

use least common multiple coefficients.
Hidden until you reveal it.
Coefficient pairs must require scaling at least one equation and commonly both to eliminate cleanly.
Enter your answer
Your answer is equivalent to the expected form.
Walkthrough
Full solution stays hidden until you ask for it.
1. Find a common multiple of one variable's coefficients.
2. Scale equations so the coefficients are opposites.
3. Add, solve, and back-substitute.
Use the worked steps, then substitute the final answer back into the original relationship to confirm it satisfies the prompt.
