Elimination Algebra

Look on page 16 of your notes:
Ex 10:
8x - 4y = 12
-8x + 4y = 4
When solving using elimination, what variable cancels?

• x

• y

• Both variables

• Neither Variable

Look on page 16 of your notes:
Ex 10:
8x - 4y = 12
-8x + 4y = 4
When solving using elimination, are you left with a true statement or a false statement?

• True Statement

• False statement

Look on page 16 of your notes:
Example 6:
x + y = 5
x - y = -9
When solving using elimination, what variable cancels?

• x

• y

Look on page 16 of your notes:
Example 6:x + y = 5
x - y = -9
Add these two equations.  What does it say after y cancels?

• 2x = -4

• 2x = 4

• 2x = -14

Look on page 16 of your notes:
Example 6:
x + y = 5
x - y = -9
using the last step from the last question, solve for x.  Write the number.

Look on page 16 of your notes:
Example 6:
x + y = 5
x - y = -9
You just found that x = -2.  
Find the value of y.  Just type in the value.

Solve the system:
x + 6y = 17
x - 3y = 8

• (5, 2)

• (11, 1)

• (1, 11)

• no solution

• (5,-5)
• (-5,5)
• (5,5)
• (1,0)

Solve this system of equations
y=8x-5
y=2x+19

• (1,3)

• (2.4, 23.8)

• (2.5,15)

• (4,27)

Solve this system of equations
