What is procedure of using elimination method? |
| Answer» Ans. The elimination method of solving systems of equations is also called the addition method. To solve a system of equations by elimination we transform the system such that one variable "cancels out".Here are the steps to follow:Step 1 : Try to eliminate a variable as you add the left sides and the right sides of the two equationsStep 2 : Set the sum resulting from adding the left sides equal to the sum resulting from adding the right sidesStep 3 : Solve for the variable that was not cancelled or eliminatedStep 4 : Use the answer found in step 3 to solve for the other variable by substituting this value in one of the two equations | |
