x – y = 3 3x + y = 1 REVIEW
What if neither variable can be eliminated by simply adding or subtracting? 3x + 4y = 6 5x + 2y = -4 • We may have to MULTIPLY before adding or subtracting!
Lesson 7.4- Elimination Using Multiplication, pg. 387 Objectives: To solve systems of equations by using elimination with multiplication. To determine the best method for solving systems of equations.
Using Multiplication with Elimination • Write both equations in standard form. Ax + By = C • Look for the easiest way to get one variable to have opposite coefficients. (Hint: Think like you’re finding an LCD). • Multiply EVERY term in the equation by the factor needed to get the opposites. • Follow the same steps for elimination with addition or subtraction.
Finding the LCD • Finding the LCD, simply means to find the least common multiple. Ex. 6 and 12 Ex. 5 and 4 Ex. 7 and 3
Ex. 1: Multiply on equation to eliminate • 2x + y = 23 3x + 2y = 37
Ex. 2: Multiply both equations to eliminate a variable. • 4x + 3y = 8 3x – 5y = -23
Ex. 3: Determine the best method to use, substitution or elimination. • y = 4x + 11 3x – 2y = -7
Write and solve a system of equations. • Seven times a number plus three times another number equals negative one. The sum of the two numbers is negative three. What are the numbers?
