2. 2) Now, solve the same system of equations using elimination.
Solve using substitution. 4x + y = 8
2x - y = -2
ANSWER : (1, 4)
2) Now, solve the same system of equations using elimination.
The process, elimination, is also known by cancellation and linear combination.

3. When you use the elimination method, you are looking to make opposites
When you use the elimination method, you are looking to make opposites. What happens when you add opposites?

4. Solve using elimination.
4x – 2y = -1
-4x + 4y = -2
2x – 3y = 16
3x + 6y = 3
ANSWER : (-1, -3/2)
ANSWER : (5, -2)
3x – 2y = 21
3x + 4y = 3
2x – 5y = 1
8x – 2y = 22
ANSWER : (5, -3)
ANSWER : (3, 1)

5. 6x – 5y = 28 4x + 9y = -6 3x + 5y = 1 6x + 10y = 2 2x + 5y = 3
ANSWER : (3, -2)
ANSWER : infinitely many
2x + 5y = 3
3x – 2y = -5
-4x + 3y = 5
8x – 6y = -9
ANSWER : (-1, 1)
ANSWER : no solutions
