Question 3
On problem #10, which variable will be the easiest to isolate in order to solve the system using
substitution?
A: x, in the top equation
B: y. in the top equation
C: x, in the bottom equation
D: y, in the bottom equation

Answer 1

Mabe b I’m not for sure

Answer 2

Answer:

A = Hard to do, B = Easiest, C = Pretty Easy, D = Hard

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

5x - 2y = -18

x - 8y = 80

__________

Step 2:

4(5x - 2y) = (-18)4

20x - 8y = -72

__________

Step 3:

20x - 8y = -72

x - 8y = 80

__________

Step 4:

21x = ?

Also, this equation isnt a substitution question, the way to solve this is by using elimination, you can tell because the values are lined up perfectly, sub. is used when y/x, is on the bottom left or right, and the other is on the opposite.

(if this makes any sense)

If this is accurate please mark it with a brainliest :)
