Using Elimination to Solve Systems

The video tutorial explains solving equations using elimination and substitution methods. It highlights that both methods require two operations: undoing addition/subtraction and multiplication/division. The elimination technique is detailed, showing how to multiply equations to eliminate variables. The tutorial also covers solving for variables and verifying solutions using alternative methods.

What are the two operations you need to perform to solve for a variable in an equation?

Explain the elimination technique and how it is similar to substitution.

What happens when you add two equations with the same coefficient but opposite signs?

How do you determine which variable to eliminate when solving a system of equations?

What is the significance of multiplying equations by different factors in the elimination method?

What is the least common multiple and how does it relate to solving equations?

Describe the process of solving for a variable after eliminating another variable.
