Answer:
-5
Step-by-step explanation:
If the second equation is multiplied by 4, the coefficient of the x-variable will be 5·4 = 20. To eliminate the x-variable by addition, the first equation needs to be multiplied by a value that will result in an x-coefficient of -20. If that value is k, then we have ...
4k = -20
k = -20/4 = -5
The first equation should be multiplied by -5 to eliminate the x-variable by addition.
_____
Comment on general case
In general, if you have ...
ax +by = c
dx +ey = f
to eliminate the x-variable by addition, you can multiply the second equation by "a" and the first equation by "-d". In the problem above, those numbers are 4 and -5.
