The Addition Method

Example

Using the addition method for an inconsistent system

Solve the system:

-4y =	5x	+ 7
4y =	-5x	+ 12

Solution

If these equations are added, both variables are eliminated:

-4y =	5x +	7
4y =	-5x +	12
0 =		19

Because this equation is inconsistent, the original equations are inconsistent. The solution set to the system is the empty set, Ã˜.
