Procedural Documentation for Linear Systems

A technical writer is updating a training manual for a data analysis team. The manual provides a walkthrough for solving a specific system of equations modeling resource allocation:

Equation 1: 3x2y=23x - 2y = -2 Equation 2: 5x6y=105x - 6y = 10

To help the team understand the elimination method, describe the specific multiplication step required to make the coefficients of the yy-variable opposites. In your response, state the specific multiplier used for Equation 1 and provide the resulting transformed equation that would be added to Equation 2.
