To eliminate the y terms and solve for x in the fewest steps, the first equation 4x - 3y = 34 should be multiplied by 2, and the second equation 3x + 2y = 17 should be multiplied by 3 before adding them.

Elimination is a process of solving a system of equations to eliminate one variable and solve for the other.

To eliminate the y terms from the equations,

first equation: 4x - 3y = 34, and

second equation: 3x + 2y = 17,

we take the L.C.M. of the coefficients of y, that is 3 and 2, which is 6, and multiply the equation by the value = (LCM of the coefficients/respective coefficient of y).

That is, for :

the first equation, we multiply the equation by (LCM of the coefficients/respective coefficient of y) = 6/3 = 2.

the second equation, we multiply by (LCM of the coefficients/respective coefficient of y) = 6/2 = 3.

Thus, to eliminate the y terms and solve for x in the fewest steps, the first equation 4x - 3y = 34 should be multiplied by 2, and the second equation 3x + 2y = 17 should be multiplied by 3 before adding them.
