    Multiply the first equation by 7 and the second equation by 2, and then add.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    2f - 5g=-9

    -7f + 3g=4

    To eliminate any variable, we need to make the coefficients same with different sign and add it

    the coefficient of 'f' in first equation is 2

    the coefficient of 'f' in second equation is - 7

    We already have different sign so we make the coefficients same

    To make the coefficient same, we multiply the first equation by 7 and second equation by 2

    So equation becomes

    14f - 35g = - 63

    -14f + 6g = 8

    Now when we add both equations, 'f' gets cancelled

    -29g = - 55
