Elimination Method:

\

The system of equations are

\

\"\"  Equation (1)

\

\"\"  Equation (2)

\

Rewrite the second equation in terms of "w". \ \

\

\"\"  Equation (2)

\

Neither variable has a common coefficient.The coefficient  of the x - variables are 4 and 6 and their least common multipe is 24, so multiply each equation by the value that will make the x - coefficient 24.\"\"

\

Subtract the equations to elimante x - variable.

\

Write the equations in column form and subtract the corresponding columns.

\

\"\"

\

Because the equation 0 = 0 is true, this system has inifinite solutions.\"\"

\

The system has inifinite solutions.
