When solving using the substitution method, why might you choose to solve for y first?

• It is always easier to solve for y

• Solving for x is not allowed in the substitution method

• Solving for y might be simpler based on the equation's structure

• It is a requirement of the substitution method

What should you do if your solution for a system of equations using the substitution method results in a decimal?

• Recheck your calculations; the answer should be a whole number

• Assume the equations do not intersect

• Graph the equations to find the exact intersection point

• Consider the solution as correct; decimals are acceptable
