Elimination Using Addition and Subtraction Math Pacing • The sum of two numbers is 31. The greater number is 5 more than the lesser number. What are the two numbers? • Complementary angles have a sum of 90°. Angles A and B are complementary and the measure of angle A is 14 ° less than the measure of angle B. Find the measures of angles A and B. • What value of c in the system of equations 5x + y = – 1 and – 2y = 10x + c will produce a system of equations with infinitely many solutions? Let x = the greater number Let y = the lesser number Let x = the measure of A Let y = the measure of B

Elimination Using Addition and Subtraction Sometimes adding two equations together will eliminate one variable. Using this step to solve a system of equations is called elimination. Elimination Using Addition and Subtraction
Use elimination to solve the system of equations. Write the equation in column form and add. Notice that the x value is eliminated. Divide each side by –2. Simplify. Elimination Using Addition Example 3-1a Since the coefficients of the x terms, –3 and 3, are additive inverses, you can eliminate the x terms by addingthe equations.
First equation Replace y with –15. Simplify. Add 60 to each side. Simplify. Divide each side by –3. Simplify. Elimination Using Addition Example 3-1a Now substitute –15 for y in either equation to find the value of x. Answer: The solution is (–24, –15).
Use elimination to solve the system of equations. Elimination Using Addition Example 3-1b Answer: (2, 1)
Four times one number three times another number minus is 12. – = 4x 3y 12 Two times the first number three times the second number added to is 6. + = 2x 3y 6 Write and Solve a System of Equations Example 3-2a Four times one number minus three times another number is 12. Two times the first number added to three times the second number is 6. Find the numbers. Let x represent the first number and y represent the secondnumber.
Write the equation in column form and add. Notice that the y value is eliminated. Divide each side by 6. Simplify. Write and Solve a System of Equations Example 3-2a Use elimination to solve the system.
First equation Replace x with 3. Simplify. Subtract 12 from each side. Simplify. Divide each side by –3. Simplify. Write and Solve a System of Equations Example 3-2a Now substitute3 for x in either equation to find the value of y. Answer: The numbers are 3 and 0.
Write and Solve a System of Equations Example 3-2b Four times one number added to another number is –10. Three times the first number minus the second number is –11. Find the numbers. Answer: –3, 2
Elimination Using Addition and Subtraction Elimination Using Addition and Subtraction Sometimes subtracting one equation from another will eliminate one variable.
Use elimination to solve the system of equations. – Write the equation in column form and subtract. Notice that the x value is eliminated. Divide each side by 5. Simplify. Elimination Using Subtraction Example 3-3a` ` Since the coefficients of the x terms, 4 and 4, are the same, you can eliminate the x terms by subtracting the equations.
Second equation Simplify. Add 6 to each side. Simplify. Divide each side by 4. Simplify. Elimination Using Subtraction Example 3-3a` ` Now substitute 2 for y in either equation to find the value of x. Answer: The solution is (6, 2).
Use elimination to solve the system of equations. Elimination Using Subtraction Example 3-3b Answer: The solution is (2, –6).
