Solving by Elimination Multiplying Both Equations

• x 

• y 

• either one, they are the same

• 4

• 2

• 1

• -2

• One

• Both

• None

• The x variable would be easiest to eliminate

• The y variable would be easiest to eliminate

• We would multiply top equation by 2

• Would multiply the bottom equation by 2

• This system has no solution

• The y variable would be easier to eliminate
