Math Problem Statement
Solution
The question in the image asks, "Which of the following are ways to solve systems of equations?" The answer options provided are:
- Graphing
- Elimination
- Substitution
- All of the above
The correct answer is 4. All of the above. Each method mentioned—graphing, elimination, and substitution—are valid ways to solve systems of equations.
- Graphing involves plotting the equations on a graph and identifying where they intersect, which represents the solution.
- Elimination involves adding or subtracting the equations to eliminate one of the variables.
- Substitution involves solving one equation for one variable and substituting it into the other equation to solve for the remaining variable.
Would you like more details on any of these methods or have any questions?
Here are five related questions:
- How do you graphically solve a system of linear equations?
- What are the advantages of the elimination method over substitution?
- When should you prefer substitution over elimination for solving systems of equations?
- Can systems of equations have no solution or infinitely many solutions?
- How do you identify the solution from a graph when the system of equations has an infinite number of solutions?
Tip: When solving systems of equations, always check if the system is consistent (has at least one solution) or inconsistent (has no solution).
