Answer:

Multiply the second equation by 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]4x + 3y = 8[/tex]

[tex]2x + 5y =12[/tex]

Required

Get matching coefficient for elimination

[tex]4x + 3y = 8[/tex]

[tex]2x + 5y =12[/tex]

The coefficient of x in both expressions are factors.

So, we can multiply the second equation by 2 to get the coefficient of x in the first.

i.e.

[tex]2 * (2x + 5y = 12)[/tex]

[tex]4x + 10y = 24[/tex]

So, the system becomes:

[tex]4x + 3y = 8[/tex]

[tex]4x + 10y = 24[/tex]

Now, x can be eliminated
