TEST SOLVING SYSTEMS OF EQUATIONS BY ELIMINATION

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.

Front

Solve the following system by using elimination: 3x - 5y = 8 and 2x + 5y = -3.

Back

(1, -1)

Front

What is the first step in using the elimination method?

Back

The first step is to align the equations and decide which variable to eliminate.

Front

Solve the following system by using elimination: -2x - 5y = -15 and x + 8y = 13.

Front

Define a system of equations.

Back

A system of equations is a set of two or more equations with the same variables.

Front

What does it mean for a system of equations to be consistent?

Back

A consistent system has at least one solution.

Front

What does it mean for a system of equations to be inconsistent?

Back

An inconsistent system has no solutions.
