Systems OF EQUATIONS Elimination
WARM UP Simplify: 6(4x – 2) = 4x + 20 Solve for y: 3x – 9y = 12. Draw a line to represent this equation. How many solutions does this system have? y = 3x + 5 and y = 3x + 5 Solve this system using substitution: y = 2x and y = 4x + 12
How do you think you can solve without using graphing or substitution? Can you eliminate a variable if you add the two equations?
Try a few on your own
What’s different about the systems of equations below? Can one variable be eliminated? Can multiplication be used? How could I eliminate x using multiplication first? How should I decide which variable to eliminate in which equation?
Try these with the person sitting next to you.
