    Solving Systems of Linear Equations by Elimination

    Uploaded by

    Jake David
    The document describes the elimination method for solving systems of linear equations. It involves three main steps: 1) Eliminate one variable by adding/subtracting the equations. 2) Solve the resulting equation for the remaining variable. 3) Substitute the value back into one of the original equations to solve for the other variable. Two examples are provided to demonstrate this process.

    SOLVING SYSTEMS OF

    LINEAR EQUATIONS
    BY ALGEBRAICALLY
    (elimination method)
    ELIMINATION METHOD
    Example #1
    3x – 4y = 12
    2x + 4y = 3
    STEP ONE: Since the numerical coefficient of y are additive
    inverse, simply add the equations.
    3x – 4y = 12
    2x – 4y = 3
    5x = 15 (one variable is eliminated)

    STEP TWO: Solve the equation.

    5x = 15
    5 5
    x=3
    ELIMINATION METHOD
    Example #1
    3x – 4y = 12
    2x + 4y = 3
    STEP THREE: Solve for the value of the other variable.
    2x + 4y = 3
    2(3)+ 4y = 3
    6 + 4y = 3
    4y = 3 – 6
    4y = – 3
    y = - 3/4
    STEP4: Checking for the Solution: {(3, -3/4)}
    Eq.1 Eq. 2
    3x – 4y = 12 2x + 4y = 3
    3(3) – 4 ( -3/4) = 12 2(3) + 4(- 3/4) = 3
    9 + 3 = 12 6-3 =3
    ELIMINATION METHOD
    Example #2
    x + 2y = 33
    x – y = -6
    STEP ONE: Find a way to get an opposite value of a variable to
    eliminate it. Multiply Eq. 2 with negative one (-1).
    x + 2y = 33
    -1(x – y = - 6)

    STEP TWO: Add the two Equations.


    x + 2y = 33
    -x +y = 6

    3y = 39
    y=3
    ELIMINATION METHOD
    Example #2
    x + 2y = 33
    x – y = -6
    STEP THREE: Substitute the variable and Solve for the
    value of the other variable.
    x – y = -6
    x –13=-6
    x=-6+13
    x=7
    STEP4: Checking for the Solution: {(7, 13)}
    Eq.1 Eq. 2
    x - y = -6 x + 2y = 33
    7 - 13 = -6 7 + 2(13) = 33
    -6 = -6 7 + 26 = 33
    33 = 33
    ELIMINATION METHOD
    Example #2
    4x -y = 9
    x -4y = 6
    STEP ONE: Find The Opposite Value of a Variable to Eliminate it.
    -4(4x -y = 9)
    x -4y = 6

    STEP TWO: Add the two Equations.


    -16x +4y = -36)
    x -4y = 6

    -15x = -30
    x= 2
    ELIMINATION METHOD
    Example #2
    4x -y = 9
    x -4y = 6
    STEP THREE: Substitute the variable and Solve for the
    value of the other variable.
    x -4y = 6
    (2)-4y = 6
    -4y= 6 -2
    -4y = 4
    y= -1
    STEP4: Checking for the Solution: {(2, -1)}
    Eq.1 Eq. 2
    4(2)- (-1) = 9     x - 4y = 6
              8+1=9 (2)-4(-1)= 6
                  9=9              6=6
