9.4 -- Solving systems by elimination

2
opposites = zero
−5x +5x=0
y+−y=0
3
Weird Rules
If EVERYTHING cancels out, there are infinite solutions
{3x−2y=4}{−3x+2y=−4}If you lose both variables, there is NO solution {x−y=3}{−x+y=7}
4
"Making" Opposites
Multiply EVERYTHING in one equation in order to make an opposite pair
Multiply either the top or the bottom equation by -1 to make an opposite pair with 3x and -3x
5
Multiple Choice
How could we make an opposite pair from these equations?
Multiply the top equation by 2
Multiply the bottom equation by -2
Multiply the bottom equation by 6
Multiply the top equation by -2
