Choose the constant that could be multiplied by each equation to create a system of equivalent equations with opposite terms.

2x + 3y = 1

5x + 2y = 8

The first equation can be multiplied by 5 and the second equation by 2.

The first equation can be multiplied by - 5 and the second equation by - 2.

The first equation can be multiplied by - 5 and the second equation by 2.

    I think it's the third one. Because it will make both equation's x a opposite value (one is positive and one is negative).

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Because 2x+3y=1*5 = 10x+15y=5 and then 5x+2y=8*-2 = - 10x+4y=-16 both equations will cancel the Xs out and then you can solve for Y.
