What would be the first step in finding the solution using elimination?

• you cannot solve this using elimination

• cross out the 2x and 3x

• Add the like terms. The y terms will cancel out.

• change to slope intercept form and graph

Identify which method for solving systems is being described by this fact:
If one equation is isolated like y = 2x or x = 7 - 4y then this method should be used.

• Graphing

• Substitution

• Elimination (linear combination)

When using any of the 3 methods to solve a system of linear equations the resulting solution is the same no matter which method is used.

• True; using any method will result in the correct solution.

• False; the solution varies because the solution depends on which method is used.
