Solving Systems of Linear Equations by Elimination

What is the primary goal of using the elimination method in solving systems of linear equations?

• To simplify equations into a single variable

• To eliminate the need for variables

• To graph the equations on a coordinate plane

• To find the point where two lines intersect

In the fruit price example, what is the cost of one pound of blueberries?

• $5

• $3

• $6

• $4

How do you determine the cost of strawberries after finding the cost of blueberries?

• By substituting the cost of blueberries into one of the original equations

• By dividing the total cost by the number of strawberries

• By graphing the cost of strawberries against blueberries

• By adding the cost of blueberries to the total cost
