Warm up
Solve each system using substitution:
y = 4x ‐3
y + 5x = 4
y = ‐2x + 2
Y = 2x + 15
y = 7x – 20
3x ‐17 = 2y

I can manipulate an equation as much as I want as long as I do the same to both sides
5=5

We will eliminate y because the sum of the coefficients is zero
I can ELIMINATE a variable by adding my second equation to the first!
This strategy is called the elimination method.
5x – 6y = ‐32
3x + 6y = 48

2y + x = 7
‐2y + 3x = ‐3

2x + 5y = ‐22
10x + 3y = 22
Dec 11­10:53 AM
‐2x + 15y = ‐32
7x – 5y = 17

Steps we take for elimination 1 If needed, manipulate an equation such that one variable can be cancelled out
2
add or subtract your two equations
3
solve for your variable
4
once you have a value for one variable, substitute in that value into an equation and find the second variable.
