Part A: Create an equivalent system of equations by replacing one equation with the sum of that
equation and a multiple of the other. Show the steps to do this. (6 points)

Part B: Show that the equivalent system has the same solution as the original system of equations. (4
points)

your material provides you a method ... might be by some other name.  If you are not familiar with it then you need to review your material.  After you have some idea what the method is asking for, and need some details ironed out;  then come back and we can process it.
