Solve a system of equations using elimination

Solve a system of equations using elimination

What you'll learn

  • Identify the coefficients of variables in a system of equations to determine if elimination is a viable solution method with at least 80% accuracy.
  • Solve a system of two linear equations using the elimination method, showing all steps clearly, with 75% accuracy on assigned problems.
  • Explain, in writing, the steps involved in the elimination method and justify why each step is mathematically valid in at least two different examples.
  • Apply the elimination method to solve real-world problems represented by systems of equations and interpret the solution in the context of the problem with 70% accuracy.
