Solve each system of linear equations using the elimination method. Show all your work.

1. Solve the following system of equations:

5x + 2y = 16

-5x + 3y = 4

2. Solve the following system of equations:

3x + 4y = 11

2x - 2y = 0

3. Solve the following system of equations:

2x - 3y = -1

4x + 9y = 13

Complete the blanks to describe the steps of the elimination method.

1. Multiply one or both equations by a constant if necessary, so that the of one variable are opposites.

2. the two equations to eliminate one variable.

3. Solve the resulting equation for the variable.

4. Substitute the value back into one of the equations to find the value of the other variable.

5. Check your solution in original equations.

Determine if the following statements about the elimination method are true or false.

1. The elimination method is only used for systems with two variables.

True

False

2. When using elimination, you always add the two equations together.

True

False
