When using the elimination method, what should be the goal when adding or subtracting the equations?

• To eliminate one of the variables

• To multiply the equations

• To square the equations

• To divide the equations

What is the next step after adding or subtracting the equations in the elimination method?

• Graph the equations to find the solution

• Solve for the remaining variable

• Divide the equations by a random number

• Multiply the equations by a random number

What is the first step in solving a system of linear equations using the elimination method?

• Divide the variables by the same number

• Align the variables by making the coefficients the same

• Ignore one of the variables

• Substitute the variables with random values

What is the final step in solving a system of linear equations using the elimination method?

• Substitute the value found into one of the original equations to solve for the remaining variable

• Multiply both equations by a random number

• Divide both equations by a random number

• Add the two equations together without eliminating any variables

What is the purpose of multiplying the equations in the elimination method?

• To waste time and effort

• To confuse the person solving the equations

• To make the equations look more complicated

• To create opposite coefficients for one of the variables
