1. Elimination Method - Systems

2. Elimination Method  With the elimination method, you create like terms that add to zero.

3.  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.
