Answer 1

ANSWER:

$-8x-10y=-42$

STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:

We have the following system of equations

$\begin{gathered} 4x+5y=21 \\ 3x-10y=15 \end{gathered}$

If we want to make the coefficient of y equal, we must divide the two quotients, like this

$\frac{-10}{5}=-2$

Therefore we multiply by -2, the first equation

$\begin{gathered} -2\cdot4x+-2\cdot5y=-2\cdot21 \\ -8x-10y=-42 \end{gathered}$
