elimination method!!!

Front

What is the elimination method in solving systems of equations?

Back

A method used to eliminate one variable by adding or subtracting equations, allowing for the solution of the remaining variable.

Front

What form should both equations be in to use the elimination method effectively?

Back

Standard form.

Front

In the equations 5x - 4y = 11 and 5x + 4y = -14, which variable will be eliminated?

Back

y variable.

Front

What is the resulting combined equation when using elimination on 5x - 4y = 11 and 5x + 4y = -14?

Back

10x = -3.

Front

What happens to the equation 2x - 6y = 20 when multiplied by -1?

Back

It becomes -2x + 6y = -20.

Front

What is the first step in the elimination method?

Back

Align the equations in standard form.

Front

How do you eliminate a variable in the elimination method?

Back

By adding or subtracting the equations to cancel out one variable.

Front

What is the purpose of the elimination method?

Back

To find the values of variables in a system of equations.

Front

Can the elimination method be used for non-linear equations?

Back

No, it is primarily used for linear equations.

Front

What is the standard form of a linear equation?

Back

Ax + By = C, where A, B, and C are constants.
