Multiply, Then Use Elimination • If the coefficients of either variable in the first equation DO NOT match the corresponding coefficients in the second equation: • Multiply one equation by a number that will make one of the coefficients of a variable match in both equations • Follow the elimination steps
Another Example • An untrue solution identifies and Inconsistent System • That means the lines won’t cross…
