Elimination Method:
\Write the system of equations by using given mater, Let first number is x and second number is y.
\ Equation (1)
Apply division property of equality: Divide each side by 2.
\ 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 1 and 5 and their least common multipe is 5, so multiply equation(1) by 5 that will make the x - coefficient 5.
\Add the equations to elimante x - variable.
\Write the equations in column form and add the corresponding columns.
\ (Divide each side by 25)
(Cancel common terms)
Now, find the x value by substituting in
.
