Addition/Elimination Method

The Addition/Elimination Method serves as an effective tool in solving systems of linear equations. This technique revolves around the concept of adding or subtracting the equations with an aim to eliminate one of the variables. This subsequently allows for the resolution of the remaining variable. This method is particularly efficient in determining the point of intersection between two lines.
