\

Elimination Method:

\

The system of equations are

\

$\"\"$ Equation (1)

\

$\"\"$ Equation (2)

\

Neither variable has a common coefficient.The coefficient of the w - variables are 6 and 3 and their least common multipe is 2, so multiply equation(2) by the value that will make the w - coefficient 6.

\

Elimanted by adding equations.

\

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

\

$\"\"$ $\"\"$

\

Apply division property of equality: Divide each side by 8.

\

$\"\"$

\

$\"\"$ (Cancel common terms). $\"\"$

\

Now, find the w value by substituting $\"\"$ in either equation.

\

$\"\"$ (Equation 2)

\

$\"\"$ (Multiply: $\"\"$ ) $\"\"$

\

Apply subtraction property of equality: Subtract 48 from each side.
