Solve Systems of Equations by Elimination

what is the variable that willl be "eliminated"?

5x - 4y = 11

5x + 4y = -14

• x variable

• y variables

• both variables

what is the resulting combined equation to the following system:

• 5x = -3

• 10y = -3

• 10x = -3

• 10x = -25

what would the top equation become when you multiply everything by -1?

• 2x - 6y = 20

• -2x - 6y = -20

• -2x + 6y = 20

• -2x + 6y = -20

what do you need to multiply the top equation by to make a zero pair:

5x - 2y = 11

-10x + 3y = -4

• 5

• -1

• 2

• -2

what is the resulting combined equation for the system below?

• -18x = 18

• y = 18

• 2y= 18

• 18x + 2y = 18

Solve by elimination:
3x + 7y = 23
-3x - 7y = -17

• No solution

• Infinite number of solutions

• (-3,3)

• (3,3)

-4x - 6y = 6
4x + 6y = -4

• no solution

• (2,0)

• (-4,0)

• (0,0)

Solve the system by elimination.

−6x + 6y = 0

9x − 8y = 4

• (4, −9)

• Infinite number of solutions

• (−9, 4)

• (4, 4)

Solve by elimination:
-x+2y=17

2x+2y=-10

• ARN

• (-9,4)

• (-9,-4)

• (9,-4)

What is the first step in solving a system of equations by elimination?

• Get both equations in standard form and line up the like terms.

• Get both equations in slope-intercept form.

• Get both equations equal to zero.

• Put the x terms first.
