When solving a 2-variable linear system, the method of • ELIMINATION is often quickest: • Obtain coefficients for x (or y) that differ only in sign by • multiplying one or both equations by a constant • 2. Add the equations to eliminate one variable; then solve the • resulting equation • 3. Back-substitute your answer from step 2 into either of the • original equations; then solve for the other variable. • 4. CHECK your work by substitution !!!
