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

1. Solve the system of equations:

5x + y = 9

10x - 7y = -18

2. Solve the system of equations:

4x + 2y = 10

-2x + 3y = -9

3. To eliminate a variable, the coefficients of that variable in both equations must be and .

4. If the coefficients are the same, you should the equations. If they are opposites, you should the equations.

5. The elimination method can only be used when one of the variables already has opposite coefficients.

True

False

6. Solve the system of equations:

3x + 4y = -10

2x - 2y = -12
