Elimination Method
The elimination method removes one variable from a system by adding or subtracting suitable multiples of the equations, so their coefficients cancel. Repeating this reduces a three-variable system to two, then to one.
It is efficient when coefficients line up neatly for cancellation.

Where it appears in Add Math
You meet Elimination Method in the Systems of Equations chapter of SPM Additional Mathematics. Knowing the term precisely matters in the exam: questions often hinge on reading a keyword correctly, and because SPM marking is analytic, using the right definition in your working helps secure method marks.
Our teachers make sure a student can not only recite what Elimination Method means but use it fluently in a full solution.
The term in three languages
Because the SPM Add Math paper is bilingual (BM/EN), it helps to know this term in each language: Elimination Method (EN) · Kaedah Penghapusan (BM) · 消去法 (中文)
