adding the equations together?

First equation: 4x - 3y = 34

Second equation: 3x + 2y - 17

The first equation should be multiplied by 2 and the second equation by 3.

The first equation should be multiplied by 2 and the second equation by - 3.

The first equation should be multiplied by 3 and the second equation by 4.

    First answer option:

    "The first equation should be multiplied by 2 and the second equation by 3. "

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The first equation should be multiplied by 2 and the second equation by 3. This way the term in y in the first equation becomes " (2) (-3y) = - 6y", and the term in y in the second equation becomes " (3) (2y) = 6y" so when added term by term, the term in "y" disappears.
