Rewriting a system of equations to align the variables apply the addition method

The video tutorial explains how to solve a system of equations by aligning variables and using elimination. It emphasizes the importance of aligning equations correctly and demonstrates solving for X and Y. The tutorial also covers plugging values into equations and verifying the final solution.

Why is it important to align equal signs when solving equations?

• To avoid using fractions

• To simplify the equations

• To make the equations look neat

• To ensure the equations are balanced

What is the first step in aligning variables in an equation?

• Dividing both sides by a constant

• Adding terms to both sides

• Subtracting terms from both sides

• Multiplying both sides by a constant

How do you eliminate a variable when solving a system of equations?

• By dividing the equations

• By adding the equations

• By subtracting the equations

• By multiplying the equations

What is the reduced form of 6/8?

• 2/3
