=====Addition Method=====

====Step 1:=====

Use the addition method to remove one of the variables from the equation.  To do this, choose two of the equations and multiply each by any given multiple, such that each equation contains opposing (complimentary) coefficients for at least one variable.  
This step may, in some situations, cause two variables to drop out if you're lucky.  In this case, multiplying <latex>3x +  y  - 3z = 11</latex> by <latex>-1</latex> will result in <latex>-3x - y + 3z</latex>.  Then, taking the sum of <latex>3x - 3y + 2z = 11</latex> and <latex>-3x - y + 3z</latex>, results in <latex>-4y + 5z = 0</latex>, an equation with one less variable.

At first, it may seem that you're only multiplying one equation by <wrap fgred>-3</wrap> and leaving the other alone, but it's important to note that leaving an equation alone is the same as multiplying it by <wrap fgred>1</wrap>.

====Step 2:====

Use the addition method to remove the same variable from a different set of equations.  To do this, choose two different equations and multiply each by a given multiple, such that each equation contains opposing coefficients for at least one variable.  In this case, adding the value of <latex>3x - 3y + 2z = 11</latex> multiplied by <latex>-5</latex> to <latex>15x -   y  - 2z =  0</latex> produces a result of <latex>14y - 12z = -55</latex>.
