method Step 2: X+4(-2+y)=0 Substitute the expression for y into the second equation Step 3: X+4(-2+y)=0 Solve the equation. x- 8x + 28 = 0 -7x + 28 = 0 -7x = -28 -7 -7 x=4 Step 4: Substitute the value into one of the Y=-2x + 7 original equations and solve. Y = -2(4) + 7 Y= -8 + 7 Y= -1 Solution: We have x=4 and y =-1 Step 5: Check Y = -2x +7 x+4y = 0 -1 = -2(4) +7 4 + 4(-1) = 0 -1 = -8 +7 4-4 = 0 -1 = -1 0=0
Step 1: Original System: x+ y =7
Solve by using Elimination method 4x y = 3 + 5x = 10 Step 2: Add the equations together to eliminate one variable. ( you may need 5x = 10 to equate the coefficients, meaning 5 = 5 multiplying an equation to get the variables to cancel out) x=2 Step3: Solve the equation. Step 4: Substitute the value into one of x+y= 7 the original equations and solve. 2+y=7 y=5 Solution: We have x = 2 and y = 5
