Elimination Method - Systems
Elimination Method With the elimination method, you create like terms that add to zero.
Step 1: Decided which variable you want to eliminate. Step 2: Multiply each equation by the value needed so that the terms for one variable will combine to zero. Step 3: Add the two equations to eliminate y and solve for x. Step 4: Find y by substituting the value of x in to one of the original equations. Step 5: Write solution as an ordered pair.
