The elimination method is a technique for solving systems of linear equations. This article reviews the technique with examples and even gives you a chance to try the method yourself.

Solve systems of equation with one-step elimination (e.g., x-values or y-values cancel each other out).

Look at two ways to solve systems of linear equations algebraically: substitution and elimination. Look at systems of linear equations graphically to help us understand when systems of linear equations have …

In some cases, we need to slightly manipulate a system of equations before we can solve it using the elimination method. See how it's done in this video.

Walk through examples of solving systems of equations with elimination. In this article, we're going to be solving systems of linear equations using a strategy called elimination. First, we need to understand …
