Suppose we want to solve the system of equations below by using the elimination method to eliminate $y$y.
Equation 1 | $4x+7y=-2$4x+7y=−2 |
Equation 2 | $3x-y=-13$3x−y=−13 |
What value must we multiply the second equation by so the coefficient of $y$y in the resulting equation is equal and opposite to that of Equation 1?
What equation do we get when we multiply the second equation by $7$7?
Consider this system of equations.
We are solving the system of equations below using the elimination method.
When we solve a system of equation using the addition method, what happens when the system has no solutions?
