How do you eliminate a variable in a system of equations?
Back
To eliminate a variable, you can multiply one or both equations by a number so that the coefficients of one variable are opposites, allowing you to add or subtract the equations.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is the significance of the coefficients in the Elimination Method?
Back
The coefficients determine how the equations can be manipulated to eliminate a variable; they must be adjusted to create opposites.
