Math Problem Statement
are these solved by elimination or substitution
Solution
In the image you provided, the two systems of equations are asking to be solved using substitution and elimination methods.
Solve by Substitution:
For the first system of equations:
This system is more straightforward to solve by substitution, as you can express one variable in terms of the other (for example, solve the first equation for in terms of and substitute that into the second equation).
Solve by Elimination:
For the second system of equations:
This system is more straightforward to solve by elimination. You can manipulate the equations to eliminate one of the variables by adding or subtracting them after multiplying each equation by an appropriate factor.
Would you like me to walk you through the step-by-step solutions for these?
