How to solve a system of equations by elimination. −x + y=12 −1+11=10
1] Write both equations in standard form. −(−1 ) +11=12
2] Make the coefficients of one variable 10=10

−5 x+ 6 y=13 1+11=12
 Decide which variable you will
eliminate. 12=12
The solution is (−1 , 11).
 Multiply one or both equations so 5 x+ 2 y =11
that the coefficients of that variable
are opposites.
