3
line up the x & y & the equal sign.
look to see if the variables are the same/opposite.
if YES - Move to Step 3
If NO. - multiply one or both equation by a constant (LCM) to make the coefficients the same or opposite.
Add or Subtract the TWO equations to eliminate one of the variables.
Solve for the remaining variable
Sybstitute your answer in one of the original equations
Check your answer.
Write final answer as an ordered pair.
