Elimination MethodDay 1 Today’s Objective: I can solve a system using elimination.
1. Solve for 1 variable x + y = 7 x – y = 3 2. Substitute the variable you just solved for into the other equation AND solve. Substitution review 3. Solve for the other variable (substitute) 4. Write the ordered pair Step 2 Step 1 Step 3 x + y = 7 ( ) + y = 7 3 + y + y = 7 3 + 2y = 7 2y = 4 y = 2 x= 3 + y x = 3 + ( ) x = 3 + 2 x = 5 x – y = 3 + y + y x = 3 + y 3 + y 2 Step 4 (5, 2)
x + y = 7 x – y = 3 Solve each system using ELIMINATION • Identify one variable in each equation that has the same number but with opposite signs. Step 2 2x = 10 2. Add the 2 equations 3. Solve for one variable x = 5 • Solve for the other variable. (substitute into one of the original equations). Step 3 x+ y = 7 ( ) + y = 7 -5 -5 y = 2 Step 4 5. Write the ordered pair. 5 (5, 2) Step 5
2x – y = -5 -2x – 5y = 11 • Identify one variable in each equation that has the same number but with opposite signs. 2. Add the 2 equations 3. Solve for one variable Step 2 -6y = 6 • Solve for the other variable. (substitute into one of the original equations). y = -1 Step 3 5. Write the ordered pair. -2x – 5y = 11 -2x – 5( ) = 11 -2x + 5 = 11 -2x = 6 x = -3 Step 4 -1 (-3, -1) Step 5
10x – 35y = 15 -10x + 8 y = 12 • Identify one variable in each equation that has the same number but with opposite signs. 2. Add the 2 equations 3. Solve for one variable Step 2 -27y = 27 • Solve for the other variable. (substitute into one of the original equations). y = -1 Step 3 5. Write the ordered pair. -10x + 8y = 12 -10x + 8( ) = 12 -10x – 8 = 12 -10 x = 20 x = -2 Step 4 -1 (-2, -1) Step 5

2x – 3y = 5 x – 2y = 4 Step 4 (substitute) x – 2y = 4 x – 2( ) = 4 x + 6 = 4 x = -2 -2( ) -3 Rewrite both equations 2x – 3y = 5 -2x + 4y = -8 y = -3 Step 2 (add the equations) Step 5 (ordered pair) ( -2, -3) Step 3 Solve for 1 variable y = -3
4( ) 2x + 3y = 10 3x – 4y = -2 Step 4 2x + 3y = 10 2( ) + 3y = 10 4 + 3y = 10 3y = 6 y = 2 3( ) 2 8x + 12y = 40 9x – 12y = -6 17x = 34 Step 2 Step 5 (2, 2) Step 3 x = 2
2( ) 3x + 2y = 17 2x + 5y = 26 Step 4 3x + 2y = 17 3x + 2( ) = 17 3x + 8 = 17 3x = 9 x = 3 -3( ) 4 6x + 4y = 34 -6x – 15y = -78 -11y= -44 Step 2 Step 5 (3, 4) Step 3 y = 4
