The elimination method is a technique for solving systems of linear equations. This article reviews the technique with examples and even gives you a chance to try the method yourself.

When solving a system of equations using elimination, when you have to multiply one of the equations to get rid of the x or y, how do you know which one you want to get rid of first?

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.

The substitution method is a technique for solving a system of equations. This article reviews the technique with multiple examples and some practice problems for you to try on your own.

Which of these strategies would eliminate a variable in the system of equations? The first choice says multiply the bottom equation by two, then add the equations.

Solve systems of equation with one-step elimination (e.g., x-values or y-values cancel each other out).

Sal explains how we can find the inverse of a 3x3 matrix using Gaussian elimination.

Every time you multiply or divide a term of an equation, you have to do the same to the other terms, and to the other side of the equation. In your example (6/3)x+2x=13, we would do the …

You would be on your way to get the correct value for y if you chose your method. There are many approaches to eliminating the variable terms when solving using the elimination system.

Now what we're gonna do is find an X and Y pair that satisfies both of these equations. That's what solving the system actually means. As you might already have seen, there's a bunch of X …
