4. Section 7.3 “Solve Linear Systems by Adding or Subtracting”  ELIMINATION- adding or subtracting equations to obtain a new equation in one variable. Solving Linear Systems Using Elimination (1) Add or Subtract the equations to eliminate one variable. (2) Solve the resulting equation for the other variable. (3) Substitute in either original equation to find the value of the eliminated variable.
