The Addition Method
This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.
State
The addition method adds the equations, scaled if needed, so one variable's terms cancel as opposites — leaving one equation in one unknown.
Show
2x + 3y = 12 stacked on 4x − 3y = 6: the y-terms are already opposites, and adding gives 6x = 18.
Builds on
- Nothing — this is a starting point.
Unlocks
- Nothing yet depends on this.
