Solving System of Equations by Addition

 

 

Objective: I know how to solve system of linear equations by addition.

 

In the Addition Method, the two equations are added together to eliminate one of the variables. We try to get the coefficients of one of the variables to be opposites so that addition will eliminate it.

 

Look up the lesson on Solving System of Equations by Addition if you need help on solving system of equations.
