So we want to solve this system of linear equations through elimination.
00:06
And so first thing we're going to want to do is find something that will be easy to eliminate.
00:10
And so this 6x and this 3x here, or negative 6x and 3x, we see that the negative 6x is just a multiple of the 3x.
00:18
So that's probably going to be our easiest place to start.
00:20
So we'll multiply this first one here by 2.
00:25
And so then if we do 2 times that first one, we'll end up getting 6x minus 4y, equals negative 13.
00:34
What this does for us is we can now just add up that second one, which is negative 6x plus 5 equals 28.
00:48
Also, this here should be 26 because we were timesing by 2.
00:56
So fix that real quick...
