Lesson Summary
Systems of linear equations can be solved by eliminating one of the variables from the
system. One way to eliminate a variable is by setting both equations equal to the same
variable and then writing the expressions equal to one another.
Example: Solve the system
x4 .
{ y=3
y =2 x +1
3 x4
and
x :
3 x4=2 x+ 1
Another way to eliminate a variable is by multiplying each term of an equation by the same
constant to make an equivalent equation. Then, use the equivalent equation to eliminate
one of the variables and solve the system.
Example: Solve the system
y=8 .
{2x x++y=10
2 ( x + y=10 )
to eliminate the
x.
2 x2 y=20
x+ y=8
.
{2 2x2
y=20
