Solving Systems of Equations by Elimination with Addition and Subtraction

The method of solving systems of linear equations where inverses/opposites are used to eliminate one of the variables.

• Elimination Method

• Substitution Method

• Graphing Method

• Addition Method

In the elimination method, what operation is used to eliminate one of the variables?

• Multiplication

• Addition or subtraction

• Division

• Exponentiation

What are the steps involved in solving a system of equations using the elimination method?

• Identifying the variable to eliminate, multiplying the equations by appropriate constants, and adding or subtracting the equations to eliminate the variable.

• Dividing the equations by random numbers

• Ignoring one of the equations

• Solving for the variable with no elimination

a method to solving a system of equations by getting rid of one of the variables first to solve for the other variable.
