Unit: 05 Lesson: 01<br />
Finally, you can multiply BOTH equations by a constant, so that when they are combined, a variable<br />
will be eliminated. Then solve the system.<br />
Ex.<br />
8x<br />
3y<br />
41<br />
( 5)<br />
<br />
_____________ = 205<br />
6x<br />
5y<br />
39 ( )<br />
<br />
_____________ = -117<br />
_____________ = 88<br />
_______ + _______ = _____ _________ = ______<br />
Solution: (4, 3)<br />
MULTIPLY <br />
the equations by constants so<br />
that something will “cancel”<br />
ADD (or COMBINE) <br />
the equations together<br />
SOLVE <br />
the resulting equation<br />
PLUG <br />
the value back into an original<br />
equation to find the other<br />
variable<br />
