6.3C Solving Systems by
Elimination -# of solutions
TSWBAT: solve a linear system by
elimination and determine the
number of solutions.
Students solve a system of two linear equations in
two variables algebraically and are able to interpret
the answer graphically. Students are able to solve a
system of two linear inequalities in two variables
and to sketch the solution sets.
Notes
• Solving a System by Linear Combination
1. Arrange the like variables in columns.
- This is already done.
2. Pick a variable, x or y, and make the two equations
opposites using multiplication.
3. Add the equations together (eliminating a variable)
and solve for the remaining variable.
4. Substitute the answer into one of the ORIGINAL
equations and solve.
5. Check your solution.
