1.Step 1 Rewrite both equations in the form Ax + By = C.3x – 6y = 12 -2x + 3y = 6 Step 2. If necessary, multiply either equation or both equations by appropriate numbers so that the sum of the x-coefficients or the sum of the y-coefficients is 0.3x – 6y = 12 -2x + 3y = 6 Multiply both sides by 2 Multiply both sides by 3 6x – 12y = 24 -6x + 9y = 18
