β€’ Now, multiply first equation by 1; multiply the second equation by 4
β€’ The system then becomes:
o 8π‘₯ + 4𝑦 = 12
o βˆ’8π‘₯ + 4𝑦 = 36
β€’ Note that both equations contain the term 4𝑦

SOLUTION USING ELIMINATION METHOD
β€’ Now subtract the second equation from first equation :
β€’ 8π‘₯ + 4𝑦 βˆ’ βˆ’8π‘₯ + 4𝑦 = 12 βˆ’ 36

β€’ This yields 16π‘₯ = βˆ’24, ∴ π‘₯ = βˆ’1
...
5 into any of the equations above (let’s choose the second

equation here):
β€’ βˆ’2(1
...

β€’ Plug this expression for 𝑧 into the second and third equations:

β€’ 2nd equation: 2π‘₯ βˆ’ 𝑦 βˆ’ π‘₯ + 𝑦 + 4 = 0 β‡’ π‘₯ βˆ’ 2𝑦 βˆ’ 4 = 0
...


β€’ Rewrite π‘₯ βˆ’ 2𝑦 βˆ’ 4 = 0 i
...
o
...


β€’ Plug 𝑦 = 4 into π‘₯ = 2𝑦 + 4 β†’ π‘₯ = 2 4 + 4 ;
β€’ ∴ π‘₯ = 12
...
(1)
o 2π‘₯ βˆ’ 𝑦 βˆ’ 𝑧 = 0
...
(3)
β€’ Let’s decide to get rid of π‘₯ first
...
The result
is:
β€’ 2π‘₯ + 2𝑦 βˆ’ 2𝑧 = βˆ’8 (a) and
β€’ 2π‘₯ βˆ’ 𝑦 βˆ’ 𝑧 = 0 (b)

ELIMINATION 2
β€’ Subtract (b) from (a):
β€’ 2π‘₯ + 2𝑦 βˆ’ 2𝑧 βˆ’ 2π‘₯ βˆ’ 𝑦 βˆ’ 𝑧 = βˆ’8 βˆ’ 0 ⟹ 3𝑦 βˆ’ 𝑧 = βˆ’8

β€’ Now, multiply (1) by 3 and (3) by 1
...
(1a)

β€’ 3π‘₯ βˆ’ 4𝑦 βˆ’ 𝑧 = 0
...
(4)
o 7𝑦 βˆ’ 2𝑧 = βˆ’12
...
The result is
β€’ 21𝑦 βˆ’ 7𝑧 = βˆ’56
...
(5a)

ELIMINATION 3
β€’ Now subtract (5a) from (4a):
β€’ 21𝑦 βˆ’ 7𝑧 βˆ’ 21𝑦 βˆ’ 6𝑧 = βˆ’56 βˆ’ (βˆ’36)

β€’ This gives: βˆ’π‘§ = βˆ’20,
β€’ ∴ 𝑧 = 20

β€’ Then 𝑦 = 4 and π‘₯ = 12 which is the same as the result found using
substitution
...

β€’ Demand of goods and services is based on the theory of consumer behaviour
...


β€’ Demand function: Relationship between quantity demanded and price,
β€’ e
...
π‘ž 𝑑 = 𝑏 βˆ’ π‘Žπ‘
β€’ The negative sign on π‘Ž means that as price increase quantity demanded decreased
...


β€’ Supply function: relationship between quantity supplied and price,
β€’ e
...
π‘ž 𝑠 = 𝑐𝑝 + 𝑑
β€’ The positive sign on 𝑐 means that as price increase quantity supplied increase
...
