Practice recognizing effective strategies when using elimination to solve a system of equations.

If you ensure the variable you wish to eliminate has matching coefficients in the two equations and opposite signs, then you just need to add the equations to do the elimination and you reduce …

Solve systems of equation with multi-step elimination (e.g., a manipulation is needed in order for x-values or y-values to cancel each other out).

In some cases, we need to slightly manipulate a system of equations before we can solve it using the elimination method. See how it's done in this video.

How can you use clues from two algebraic expressions to figure out the value of a variable? In this unit, you'll learn how to solve a system of equations or inequalities in two variables by …
