Lesson 3: Solving Systems of Equations by Elimination
DO NOW
What is -6x + 6x?
What is 3x - 3x?
What is -8x - 8x?
LEARNING TARGET
I can solve a system of equations by elimination.
I DO
when we are solving an equation using the vertical line method, we can't solve it if it has more than one variable (like both x and y). It needs to have just one.
We can use elimination to get rid of one of those variables.Â
Let's do some examples!
Find the solution to the system of equations.
