Tatum wants to solve the following system of equations by using the elimination method. What integer should she multiply the second equation by to eliminate a variable when you add the equations?
6x + 3y = 14
3x + 2y = 10
In order to eliminate the variable "y" when adding the two equations together, Tatum should multiply the second equation by 3.
This will result in:
6x + 3y = 14
9x + 6y = 30
When adding them together, the "y" variable will be eliminated:
(6x + 3y) + (9x + 6y) = 14 + 30
15x + 9y = 44
