12
x+y = 10
x-y = 2
Add both equations together in order to eliminate y:
2x = 12
Divide both sides by 2 to find the value of x:
x = 6
Substitute the value of x into the original equations to find the value of y:
Therefore: x = 6 and y = 4
By elimination: x = 3 and y = 0
y=16 x= -4
Subtract by 7x and divide by 2.
x + 8y = 3 therefore 2x + 16y = 6 (a) 2x + 3y = -7 (b) Subtract (b) from (a): 13y = 13 so y = 1 and x = -5
(2,-2)
9y subtract 11 equals 7
By elimination: x = 3 and y = 0
y=16 x= -4
Subtract by 7x and divide by 2.
x + 8y = 3 therefore 2x + 16y = 6 (a) 2x + 3y = -7 (b) Subtract (b) from (a): 13y = 13 so y = 1 and x = -5
(2,-2)
-3
Subtract two from both sides and you are left with X equals -5
U can subtract 18 from each side of the equation.
To solve this one, subtract 50 from 180 and you'll have your answer.
To solve x + 1.4 = 2, subtract 1.4 from each side; x = 0.6
The elimination method only works with simultaneous equations, hence another equation is needed here for it to be solvable.
