Solve Systems of Equations by Elimination
Solve by Graphing Solution: (-1, 3)
Analyzing the Solution Does the solution still work if you multiply one or both of the equations by a number like 2 or -2? Solution: (-1, 3)
Steps for Elimination: Arrange the equations with like terms in columns Multiply, if necessary, to create opposite coefficients for one variable. Add/Subtract the equations. Substitute the value to solve for the other variable. Write your answer as an ordered pair. Check your answer.
EXAMPLE 1 (continued) (-1, 3)
EXAMPLE 2 3x + 2y = 5 -3x + 4y = -3.5 (1.5, 0.25)
EXAMPLE 3 2x – 3y = -2 -4x + 5y = 2 (2, 2)
EXAMPLE 4 -8x + 2y = 7 -4x + y = –16 No Solution
EXAMPLE 5 2x + 3y = 1 3x – 2y = 8 (2, -1)
