Elimination Method:

\

The system of equations are

\

$\"\"$ Equation (1)

\

$\"\"$ Equation (2)

\

Rewite the second equation in terms of first equation.

\

$\"\"$ Equation (2)

\

Neither variable has a common coefficient.The coefficient of the x - variables are 4 and 3 and their least common multipe is 12, so multiply each equation by the value that will make the x - coefficient 12.

\

$\"\"$

\

Add the equations to elimante x - variable.

\

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

\

$\"\"$

\

Apply division property of equality: Divide each side by 38.

\

$\"\"$

\

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

\

Now, find the x value by substituting $\"\"$ in $\"\"$ .

\

$\"\"$

\

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

\

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

\

$\"\"$

\

$\"\"$ (Apply additive inverse property: $\"\"$ )

\

$\"\"$ (Apply additive identity property: $\"\"$ )

\

$\"\"$ (Subtract: $\"\"$ )

\

$\"\"$ (Divide each side by 4)

\

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

\

The system of solution is $\"\"$ .
