Solving by Addition and Subtraction
If no coefficient is 1 or 1, use the addition and subtraction method. If you can add or subtract the equations and get one variable to vanish, then just solve for the remaining variable. This called elimination.
Use this method if the coefficients of one of the variables have the same or opposite signs in the two equations.
