These techniques for elimination are preferred for 3rd order systems and higher. They use "Row-Reduction" techniques/pivoting and many subtle math tricks to reduce a matrix to either a solvable form or perhaps provide an inverse of a matrix (A-1)of linear equation AX=b. Solving systems of linear equations (n>2) by elimination is a topic unto itself and is the preferred method. As the system of equations increases, the "condition" of a matrix becomes extremely important. Some of this may sound completely alien to you. Don't worry about these topics until Linear Algebra when systems of linear equations (Rank 'n') become larger than 2.

You can solve the equation.
Answer:
The price of a package of chocolate chip is $13.25
The price of a package of gingerbread is $17.18
Step-by-step explanation:
11x + 12y = 352
10x +8y = 270
Let "x" be the price of a package of chocolate chip.
Let "y" be the price of a package of gingerbread.
11x + 12y = 352(Multiply the 1st row by 10)
10x +8y = 270 (Multiply the 2nd row by 11)
-------------------
110x + 120y = 3520
110x +88y = 2970
--------------------------
3y = 550
y =550/3
y = 17.1875
The price of a package of gingerbread "y" is $17.18
Let's pick the first equation "110x + 120y = 3520"
110x + 120y = 3520
110x+ 120(17.1875)= 3520
110x+2062.5=3520
110x=3520−2062.5
110x=1457.5
x= 1457.5/110
x=13.25
The price of a package of chocolate chip is $13.25
