Question

If you were to solve the following system by substitution, what would be the best variable to solve for and from what equation? 3x+6y=9 2x-10y=13 a)x in first equation b)x in second equation c)y in first equation d)y in second equation

Answer 1

x in the first equation

because 3x + 6y = 9 can be reduced by dividing by 3, thus, giving u 
x + 2y = 3.....x = -2y + 3...which u would sub in for x in the other equation
