1. Notes Solving a System by Elimination
1. Arrange the like variables in columns.
- This is already done.
2. Pick a variable, x or y, and make the two equations opposites using multiplication.
3. Add the equations together (eliminating a variable) and solve for the remaining variable.
4. Substitute the answer into one of the ORIGINAL equations and solve.
5. Check your solution.
