4. What is the solution to a system of equations geometrically?5.What are three types of solutions when solving systems of equations?

Systems of Linear Equations: Elimination

The Elimination method is used when both equations are in standard form and like terms have opposite coefficients.

Ex: -4x + y = 9 -3x + 5y = -7 -2x – y = -1 3x + 2y = -4 both equations in standard form both equations in standard form y terms have opposite coefficients x terms have opposite coefficients

Non Ex: y = 2x – 10 x – 6y = 1 5x – y = 9 x + 3y = 8

substitution method both equations in standard form No opposite coefficients

(elimination using multiplication)

Which is an example of a system of linear equations using the elimination method?

x + 6y = -10 8x + 3y = -1 -x – y = 9 x = 3y – 2

The Addition Property of equations- Two equations may be added left + left = right + right .

Add the second equation to the first equation to eliminate thevariables with opposite coefficients.

x + y = 19 + x – y = -7 x – y and -7 are the same value added to both sides ____________________________

2x = 12 x = 6

Substitute the value of x into either equation to solve for y

Systems of Linear Equations: Elimination using Multiplication

The Elimination using Multiplication method is used when bothequations are in standard form but like terms DO NOT have opposite

coefficients.

Ex: -x + 7y = 9 2x + 5y = -7 -2x – y = -1 3x + 5y = -4 both equations in standard form both equations in standard form Like terms do not have opposite coefficients Like terms do not have opposite coefficients

Non Ex: y = 2x – 10 x – 6y = 1 5x – y = 9 3x + 6y = 8

substitution method both equations in standard form like terms have opposite coefficients

Give an example of the Elimination using Multiplication method.

Multiply one or both equations by a nonzero number to create opposite coefficients. Add the equations to eliminate one of the variables.

Is any coefficient a divisor of another? If so, multiply the equation with that divisor to create opposite coefficients

2x – 4y = -43x + 2y = -6

2 is a DIVISOR of 4 so we multiply the second equation to create opposite coefficients.

How do you create opposite coefficients for a variable?
