5. Elimination Steps Step 1: Choose one of the equations to pair with each of the other two equations to eliminate one of the variables. Step 2: From Step 1 you should have two new equations with only two variables. Pair the new equations together and eliminate one more variable. You should have solved for your first variable. Step 3: Substitute your solved variables backwards to find the values of the two remaining variables.

6. Solve the system by elimination. Step 2: Write the two new equations as a system. Solve for x and y. –5x + 3y + 2z = 11 8x – 5y + 2z= –55 4x – 7y – 2z= –29 1 2 3 Step 1:Pair the equations to eliminate z, because the terms are already additive inverses. 8x – 5y + 2z = –55–5x + 3y + 2z= 11 4x – 7y – 2z = –29Add.4x – 7y – 2z= –29 12x – 12y= –84 –x – 4y= –18 2 3 4 1 3 5 12x – 12y= –84 –12x – 48y= –216 – 60y= –300 y= 5 4 6 Multiply equation by 12 to make it an additive inverse.

14. You have $10,000 in a savings account. You want to take most of the money out and invest it in stocks and bonds. You decide to invest nine times as much as you leave in the account. You also decide to invest five times as much in stocks as in bonds. How much will you invest in stocks, how much in bonds, and how much will you leave in savings? Relate: money in stocks + money in bonds + money in savings = $10,000 money in stocks + money in bonds = 9 money in savings money in stocks = 5 money in bonds Define:Let k = amount invested in stocks. Let b = amount invested in bonds. Let s = amount left in savings. Real World Example

15. (continued) Step 1: Substitute 5b for k in equations and. Simplify. k + b + s = 10000 k + b = 9s 5b + b + s = 10000 5b + b = 9s 6b + s = 10000 6b = 9s 1 4 2 5 1 2 Step 2: Write the two new equations as a system.
