3.2 Solving Systems by Elimination Learning Objective: to solve systems using elimination Warm-up (IN) 1. Simplify. No HW/INB check this week! 15y 11x -4x+5y -x+4y 17x-20y
***To solve systems by elimination: 1 – line up like terms on top of each other 2 – multiply one, or both, of the equations so that one variable will cancel 3 – add the equations vertically 4 – Solve for the remaining variable 5 – plug that value back into either of the original equations to find the other variable
-4 ( ) EX 1 – Solve by linear combination: Always write solution as an ordered pair!!!
( 3 )
5 ( ) 2 ( )
No solution! -4 ( ) All real #s
EX 2 – #40 on page 170 -2 ( ) POINT CHALLENGE! Try this… page 168
