Multiplication as a method of elimination is used to eliminate an unknown in a system of equations by multiplying one of the equations by a constant.
What is the Gauss method?
It is the method of eliminating unknowns that transforms a linear system into a triangular system, so that it is possible to solve the problem with retroactive resolution. Like for example:
- 2x+3y=14
- 3x-4y=4
A) The first step is to solve equation 2 to find the variable x.
- 3x=4y+4
- x=4y/3+4/3
B) The second step is to include the variable x found in equation 1.
2x(4y/3+4/3)+3y=14
17y/3=34/3
17y=34
C) The third step is to solve equation 1 to find the variable y.
- 17y=34
- y=2
D)Now that we've found the value of y, we can solve equation 1 to find the value of x.
- x=4/3x(2)+4/3=4
Therefore, if the value of x is 4 and the value of y is 2, the solution of this exercise, using the Gauss method is (4;2).
