System by Elimination Adding and Subtracting

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 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 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 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

• (1, -12)

• (-5, -30)

• (-5, 10)

• (1, 18)

• A

• B

• C

• D

• A

• B

• C

• D

Solve using Elimination Method:

4x+ 9y = 28

-4x -y = -28

• (-7,0)

• (6,0)

• (-6,0)

• (7,0)

• (6,7)

Solve using Elimination Method: 9x - 4y = 7 x - 4y = -17

• (-1,5)

• (-7,5)

• (7,5)

• (3,5)

Solve using Elimination Method:

x - y = 11

2x + y = 19

• (10,-1)

• (-1,10)

• (3,-4)

• (6,7)
