WHEN YOU HAVE TWO EQUATIONS, EACH

WITH X AND Y, AND YOU FIGURE OUT
ONE VALUE FOR X AND ONE VALUE FOR Y
THAT WILL MAKE BOTH EQUATIONS TRUE.
A system of equations is a collection of two or
more equations, each containing one or more
variables.
A solution of a system of equations consists of
values for the variables that reduce each equation
of the system to a true statement.
To solve a system of equations means to find all
solutions of the system.
When a system of equations has at least one solution, it is
said to be consistent; otherwise it is called inconsistent.
If each equation in a system of equations
is linear, then we have a system of
linear equations.
Kind of System of Linear Equation

number of solutions AND INDEPENDENT
EQUATIONS.
If the graph of the
lines in a system
y of two linear
equations in two
variables intersect,
Solution then the system of
equations has one
solution, given by
the point of
x intersection.
 SYSTEM OF INCONSISTENT EQUATIONS
If the graph of the lines in a system
of two linear equations in two
variables are parallel, then the
y system of equations has no
solution, because the lines never
intersect..

x
THE SYSTEM IS CONSISTENT AND DEPENDENT.

If the graph of the lines in a system of

two linear equations in two variables
are coincident, then the system of
y equations has infinitely many
solutions, represented by the totality of
points on the line.

SOLVING SYSTEM OF LINEAR EQUATION
BY ELIMINATION METHOD
Solving Systems of Equations by
Elimination
Step 1 Write the system so that like
terms are aligned.
Eliminate one of the variables and
Step 2
solve for the other variable.
Substitute the value of the variable
Step 3 into one of the original equations
and solve for the other variable.
Write the answers from Steps 2 and 3
Step 4 as an ordered pair, (x, y), and check.
 Example: Elimination Using Addition

3x – 4y = 10
Solve by elimination.
x + 4y = –2

Step 1 3x – 4y = 10
x + 4y = –2
Step 2 4x + 0 = 8

4x = 8
4x = 8
4 4
x=2
 Example Continued

Step 3 x + 4y = –2 Write one of the original

equations.
2 + 4y = –2 Substitute 2 for x.
–2 –2 Subtract 2 from both sides.
4y = –4
4y –4
4 4
y = –1
Step 4 (2, –1)
 Example

y + 3x = –2
Solve by elimination.
2y – 3x = 14

Step 1 y + 3x = –2
2y – 3x = 14
Step 2 3y + 0 = 12
3y = 12

y=4
 Example Continued

Step 3 y + 3x = –2 Write one of the original

equations.
4 + 3x = –2 Substitute 4 for y.
–4 –4 Subtract 4 from both sides.
3x = –6
3x = –6
3 3
x = –2
Step 4 (–2, 4)
 Example: Elimination Using Subtraction

Solve 2x + y = –5 by elimination.
2x – 5y = 13

Step 1 2x + y = –5
–(2x – 5y = 13)
2x + y = –5
–2x + 5y = –13
Step 2 0 + 6y = –18 Eliminate x.
6y = –18
y = –3
 Example Continued

Step 3 2x + y = –5 Write one of the original

equations.
2x + (–3) = –5
Substitute –3 for y.
2x – 3 = –5
+3 +3
2x = –2
x = –1
Step 4 (–1, –3)
In some cases, you will first need to
multiply one or both of the equations by
a number so that one variable has
opposite coefficients.
 Example: Elimination Using Multiplication First
Solve the system by elimination.
x + 2y = 11
–3x + y = –5

Step 1 x + 2y = 11 Multiply each term in the

–2(–3x + y = –5) second equation by –2 to
get opposite y-coefficients.
x + 2y = 11
+(6x –2y = +10)
7x + 0 = 21
Step 2 7x = 21
Solve for x.
x=3
 Example Continued

Write one of the original

Step 3 x + 2y = 11
equations.
3 + 2y = 11 Substitute 3 for x.
–3 –3 Subtract 3 from both sides.
2y = 8
y=4
Step 4 (3, 4)
