Suppose you want to use elimination to solve this system. braceleftzh 2x + 17y = −3 5x + 4y = 9 By what numbers would you need to multiply the two equations in order to eliminate y? By what numbers would you need to multiply the two equations in order to eliminate x instead? Drag and drop the correct numbers and words into the boxes to complete the explanation. You could multiply the first equation by and the second equation by , and then the resulting equations to eliminate y. You might choose to eliminate x instead. To do this, you would multiply the first equation by and the second equation by and then the equations.
