What do you do when you can't readily eliminate two terms while solving a linear system by elimination?

You have to multiply either one of the equations, or both of them by one, or two different positive or negative numbers, to manipulate the equation so that you can eliminate one of the variables. Ex: 4x-3y=2 / 2x-3y=2 ... You would have to multiply either the top or bottom equation by negative 1 to change one of the -3y's into positive 3y, then you can eliminate the y.

Which is more efficient for solving linear systems gaussian elimination or cramer's rule?
Of course, Gaussian Elimination!
What is the use of gaussian elimination in education world situations?
Gaussian elimination is used to solve systems of linear equations.
How can you solve a linear equation?
by elimination,substitution or through the matrix method.
When solving a system of equations by elimination you find what?
You find a solution set. Depending on whether the equations are linear or otherwise, consistent or not, the solution set may consist of none, one, several or infinitely many possible solutions to the system.
Are the methods for solving linear and compound inequalities the same?
Yes

What is a method for solving a system of linear equations in which you multiply one or both equations by a number to get rid of a variable term?
It is called solving by elimination.
What is the elimination methods?
A method for solving a system of linear equations; like terms in equations are added or subtracted together to eliminate all variables except one; The values of that variable is then used to find the values of other variables in the system. :)
What are 3 methods to solving a system of linear equations?
u can use gauss jorden or gauss elimination method for solving linear equation u also use simple subtraction method for small linear equation also.. after that also there are many methods are available but above are most used
What is the disadvantage of using the substitution method in solving linear equations rather than the graph method?
There are no disadvantages. There are three main ways to solve linear equations which are: substitution, graphing, and elimination. The method that is most appropriate can be found by looking at the equation.
What does it mean by solving linear systems?
Solving linear systems means to solve linear equations and inequalities. Then to graph it and describing it by statical statements.
How did the system of equations develop?
The system of equations developed from the early days with ancient China playing a foundational role. The Gaussian elimination was initiated as early as 200 BC for purposes of solving linear equations.
Make a sentence with the word with linear?
Solving linear equations is hard sometimes.
What is the use of gaussian elimination in education world situations?
Gaussian elimination is used to solve systems of linear equations.
How does solving a literal equation differ from solving a linear equation?
Because linear equations are based on algebra equal to each other whereas literal equations are based on solving for one variable.
How do you solve systems of equations using linear combination?
You select the linear combination of the equations in such a way that at each stage you eliminate one variable.You select the linear combination of the equations in such a way that at each stage you eliminate one variable.You select the linear combination of the equations in such a way that at each stage you eliminate one variable.You select the linear combination of the equations in such a way that at each stage you eliminate one variable.
How do you find system of linear equation in two variable?
By elimination and substitution
