Warm Up Find the solution to linear system using the substitution method. 1) 2x = 82) x = 3y - 11 x + y = 2 2x – 5y = 33 x + y = 2 2x – 5y = 33
5.3 Solving Linear Systems by Elimination Objective: Solve a system of linear equations by linear combinations.
EXAMPLE 1 Linear Combination Solve the linear system. 4x + 3y = 16 Equation 1 2x – 3y = 8 Equation 2 Step 1: Line up equations Step 2: Add both equations to cancel out one of the variables. Step 3: Solve for the remaining variable Step 4: Substitute your answer for step 3 into either equation to solve for the other variable. 6x = 24 x = 4
Solve the linear system. Then check your solution Checkpoint Add the Equations 1. 6y = 12Step 2 Step 1 y = 2 Step 3 Step 4
