FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the elimination method in solving systems of equations?

Back

The elimination method involves adding or subtracting equations to eliminate one variable, making it easier to solve for the other variable.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the first step in using the elimination method?

Back

The first step is to align the equations so that the coefficients of one variable are opposites, allowing for easy elimination when the equations are added or subtracted.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

How do you solve the system of equations x + y = 6 and -x + y = 4 using elimination?

Back

Add the two equations to eliminate x: (x + y) + (-x + y) = 6 + 4, resulting in 2y = 10, so y = 5. Substitute y back to find x: x + 5 = 6, thus x = 1.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What does it mean if two equations are dependent?

Back

Dependent equations have infinitely many solutions, as they represent the same line in a graph.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What does it mean if two equations are inconsistent?

Back
