Elimination Method Strategy

Solve the system of equations.

• (-6, 30)

• (-2, 10)

• (44, 39)

• No solution

• Infinite solutions

−4x − 4y = 0

4x + 4y = 0

• (−6, −4)

• Infinite number of solutions

• No Solution

• (6, 4)

• (0,0)

Solve by elimination:

7x - 9y = 29

7x + 2y = - 15

• (-4,-1)

• (-1.-4)

• (-1,4)

• (-1,6)

What is the solution to this system of equations?

4x + y = 6

x - 2y = 6

• (2,-2)

• (1,2)

• ( 1/2 , 4 )

• (-2,2)

• (2, 4)

4x+8y=20

-4x+2y=-30

• (-7,1)

• (2,-5)

• (-2,5)

• (7,-1)

-6x+5y=1
6x+4y=-10

• (1,-1)

• (0,-1)

• (1,1)

• (-1,-1)

5x - 4y = 11

5x + 4y = -14

which variable will be eliminated?

• x

• y

• none!!!!!!!

• both

what is the resulting combined equation for the system below?

• -18x = 18

• y = 18

• 2y= 18

• 18x + 2y = 18

do you see a zero pair to eliminate?

2x - 6y = 20

2x + 5y = -11

• no

• yes

what would the top equation become when you multiply everything by -1?

• 2x - 6y = 20

• -2x - 6y = -20

• -2x + 6y = 20

• -2x + 6y = -20
