Malik solved this system of equations.


As the first step, he decided to solve for x in the first equation because it has a small, even number for the coefficient. Jill told him there was a more efficient way. What reason can Jill give for her statement?

The variable y in the second equation has a coefficient of one so there will be fewer steps to the solution.

The variable x in the second equation has a coefficient of 5 so it will be easy to divide 15 by 5.

The variable y in the first equation is divisible by 2 so it will be the most efficient way to start.

The variable y in the first equation has a larger even number. When dividing by 4, the solution will be a smaller number.

Jerry solved the system of equations.


As the first step, he decided to solve for y in the second equation because it had the smallest number as a coefficient. Max told him that there was a more efficient way. What reason can Max give for his statement?

The variable x in the first equation has a coefficient of one so there will be fewer steps to the solution.

The variable x in the second equation has a coefficient of 7 so it will be easy to divide 7 by 7.

The variable y in the second equation has a coefficient of 2 so it will be easy to divide the entire equation by 2.

The variable x in the second equation has the largest coefficient. When dividing by 7, the solution will be a smaller number.
