Elimination Using Addition and Subtraction
Elimination Using Addition and Subtraction
Sometimes adding two equations together will eliminate one variable.
Using this step to solve a system of equations is called elimination.
Use elimination to solve the system of equations.
Since the coefficients of the x terms, –3 and 3, are additive inverses, you can eliminate the x terms by adding the equations.
Write the equation in column form and add.
Notice that the x value is eliminated.
Divide each side by –2.
Simplify.

Now substitute –15 for y in either equation to find the value of x.
Simplify.
Add 60 to each side.
Divide each side by –3.
Simplify.
First equation
Replace y with –15.
Simplify.
Answer: The solution is (–24, –15).
Elimination Using Addition
Use elimination to solve the system of equations.
Answer: (2, 1)
Elimination Using Addition
Four times one number minus three times another number is 12. Two times the first number added to three times the second number is 6. Find the numbers.
Let x represent the first number and y represent the second number.
Four times one number minus
three times another number is 12.
Two times the first number added to
three times the second number is 6.
4x – 3y = 12
2x + 3y = 6

Elimination Using Addition and Subtraction
Sometimes subtracting one equation from another will eliminate one variable.
Since the coefficients of the x terms, 4 and 4, are the same, you can eliminate the x terms by subtracting the equations.
Write the equation in column form and subtract.
Notice that the x value is eliminated.
Divide each side by 5.
