  1. Solving Systems of Equations The Elimination Method

  2. Objectives • Learn the procedure of the Elimination Method using addition • Learn the procedure of the Elimination Method using multiplication • Solving systems of equations using the Elimination Method

  3. Lets add both equations to each other Elimination using Addition Consider the system x - 2y = 5 2x + 2y = 7 REMEMBER: We are trying to find the Point of Intersection. (x, y)

  4. + Elimination using Addition Consider the system x - 2y = 5 Lets add both equations to each other 2x + 2y = 7 NOTE: We use the Elimination Method, if we can immediately cancel out two like terms.

  5. Elimination using Addition Consider the system x - 2y = 5 Lets add both equations to each other + 2x + 2y = 7 = 12 3x x = 4  ANS: (4, y) NOTE: We use the Elimination Method, if we can immediately cancel out two like terms.

  6. 1 y = 2 Elimination using Addition Consider the system x - 2y = 5 Lets substitute x = 4 into this equation. 2x + 2y = 7 4 - 2y = 5 Solve for y - 2y = 1  ANS: (4, y) NOTE: We use the Elimination Method, if we can immediately cancel out two like terms.

  7. 1 2 1 2 Elimination using Addition Consider the system x - 2y = 5 Lets substitute x = 4 into this equation. 2x + 2y = 7 4 - 2y = 5 Solve for y - 2y = 1 y =  ANS: (4, ) NOTE: We use the Elimination Method, if we can immediately cancel out two like terms.

  8. Elimination using Addition Consider the system 3x + y = 14 4x - y = 7 NOTE: We use the Elimination Method, if we can immediately cancel out two like terms.

  9. + Elimination using Addition Consider the system 3x + y = 14 4x - y = 7 7x = 21 x = 3  ANS: (3, y)

  10. Elimination using Addition Consider the system 3x + y = 14 Substitute x = 3 into this equation 4x - y = 7 3(3) + y = 14 9 + y = 14 y = 5  ANS: (3, ) 5 NOTE: We use the Elimination Method, if we can immediately cancel out two like terms.

  11. Examples… 1. 2. ANS: (4, -3) ANS: (-1, 2)

  12. Elimination using Multiplication Consider the system 6x + 11y = -5 6x + 9y = -3

  13. Elimination using Multiplication Consider the system 6x + 11y = -5 + 6x + 9y = -3 12x + 20y = -8 When we add equations together, nothing cancels out

  14. Elimination using Multiplication Consider the system 6x + 11y = -5 6x + 9y = -3

  15. Elimination using Multiplication Consider the system -1 ( ) 6x + 11y = -5 6x + 9y = -3

  16. Elimination using Multiplication Consider the system - 6x - 11y = 5 + 6x + 9y = -3 -2y = 2  y = -1 -1 ANS: (x, )

  18. +9 +9 Elimination using Multiplication Consider the system 6x + 11y = -5 Lets substitute y = -1 into this equation 6x + 9y = -3 y = -1 6x + 9(-1) = -3 6x + -9 = -3 6x = 6  x = 1 -1 ANS: ( , ) 1

  19. Elimination using Multiplication Consider the system x + 2y = 6 Multiply by -3 to eliminate the x term 3x + 3y = -6

  21. Elimination using Multiplication Consider the system -3x + -6y = -18 + 3x + 3y = -6 -3y = -24 y = 8  ANS: (x, 8)

  22. Substitute y = 8 into equation Elimination using Multiplication Consider the system x + 2y = 6 3x + 3y = -6 y =8 x + 2(8) = 6 x + 16 = 6 x = -10  ANS: (x, 8)

  23. Elimination using Multiplication Consider the system x + 2y = 6 Substitute y = 8 into equation 3x + 3y = -6 y =8 x + 2(8) = 6 x + 16 = 6  x = -10 ANS: ( , 8) -10
