I will give a simple example just to illustrate the idea, but all you have to do is multiply any of the equations by a constant to make them inversely additive values and add the equations.

.2x-.5y = 10

.5x+.3y = 15

.2 = 1/5 and .5 = 1/2 so if I multiply the first equation by -5 and the second by 2, we get the system:

-x+2.5y = -50

x+.6y = 30

(-x+2.5y = -50) + (x+.6y = 30) = (3.1y = -20)

Solving for the variables, we get y = -6.452 and x = 33.871

When is it best to solve a systems of linear equations using elimination?

Elimination is particularly easy when one of the coefficients is one, or the equation can be divided by a number to reduce a coefficient to one. This makes substitution and elimination more trivial.


What can systems of equations be solved by?

By elimination or substitution


What is the use of gaussian elimination in education world situations?

Gaussian elimination is used to solve systems of linear equations.


How do you solve systems of equations by using elimination?

Multiply every term in both equations by any number that is not 0 or 1, and has not been posted in our discussion already. Then solve the new system you have created using elimination or substitution method:6x + 9y = -310x - 6y = 58


How do you slove systems of two equations?

To solve a system of two equations, you can use one of three methods: substitution, elimination, or graphing. In the substitution method, you solve one equation for one variable and substitute that expression into the other equation. In the elimination method, you manipulate the equations to eliminate one variable by adding or subtracting them. Graphing involves plotting both equations on a graph and identifying their point of intersection, which represents the solution.


Solve linear equations with complex coefficients on both sides?

You would solve them in exactly the same way as you would solve linear equations with real coefficients. Whether you use substitution or elimination for pairs of equations, or matrix algebra for systems of equations depends on your requirements. But the methods remain the same.


Why is substitution the best method in solving systems of equations?

It is not always the best method, sometimes elimination is the way you should solve systems. It is best to use substitution when you havea variable isolated on one side


How many types of method are there to solve linear equation?

There are several methods to solve linear equations, including the substitution method, elimination method, and graphical method. Additionally, matrix methods such as Gaussian elimination and using inverse matrices can also be employed for solving systems of linear equations. Each method has its own advantages depending on the complexity of the equations and the number of variables involved.


What is the Cauchy Kovalevskaya theorem?

The Cauchy kovalevskaya theorem tells us about solutions to systems of differential equations. If we look at m equations in n dimension, with coefficient that are analytic function, we can know about the existence of solutions using this theorem.


Is it possible to solve systems of equations?

very possible, unless there is something preventing them from being true, like an undefined answer. The most common ways are through substitution, graphing, and elimination.


How can you use a graph to solve systems of equations?

You can use a graph to solve systems of equations by plotting the two equations to see where they intersect


The elimination method is useful when you can eliminate one of the variable terms from an equation by adding or subtracting another equation? true or false?

True. The elimination method is a technique used in solving systems of equations where you can eliminate one variable by adding or subtracting equations. This simplifies the system, allowing for easier solving of the remaining variable. It is particularly effective when the coefficients of one variable are opposites or can be made to be opposites.
