Question

What are the steps to solving systems of equations and inequalities

Answer 1

Step 1: Line up the equations so that the variables are lined up vertically.

Step 2:  Choose the easiest variable to eliminate and multiply both equations by different numbers so that the coefficients of that variable are the same.

Step 3:  Subtract the two equations.

Step 4:  Solve the one variable system.

Step 5:  Put that value back into either equation to find the other equation.

Step 6:  Reread the question and plug your answers back in to check.
