Consider the given equations
4x-3y=15----(1)
3x-2y=10----(2)
Use the addition method to eliminate y
Multiply the first equation by 2 and multiply the second equation by (−3)
Then,
-x=0
Put the value of x in the equation (1), then
So,
4(0)-3y=15
$y=-15/3$
y=-5
(x, y)=(0, -5)
Hence, the require number that is multiplied to the second equation is −3
