A system of equations is shown below:

5x - 5y = 10
3x - 2y = 2

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)

Please Help Guys!

Thanks.
