How will YOU determine which method to use when solving systems of equations; graphing, substitution or elimination? by

elimination

graythompson — 2023-11-30 14:14:12 UTC

i would do it based on the question format but i prefer elimination but i will use the others to solve if necessary

What I would use:

madelynbellamy — 2023-11-30 14:14:51 UTC

I would do it based on how the equation is formatted, though I would prefer to use substitution as it is the easiest for me.

Elimination

Elimination (for standard form)

Substitution (for non standard form)

virginiaszok — 2023-11-30 14:15:43 UTC

Depending on which form it starts in is how I would determine which method to use.

I would determine what to use based on how the equation is set up, though I would prefer to use elimination if possible.

adampeace — 2023-11-30 14:15:52 UTC

I would look at the question and determine which method to use based off of that :)

savannahgeiger — 2023-11-30 14:16:18 UTC

It really depends on what the equation is so I would analyze the question and then figure out what to use from there.

When there is an chance to make a zero pair you would use elimination.

I think it depends on which method is the most fitting to the format of the equations and then use the one that will make it easiest to solve.

If I have a graph given, I will use graphing

Elimination if there is an easy pair (like 5y and 10y) or (2y and 2y)

If there is no easy pairs like (7x 8y with 9x 3y) then I'll use substitution

i would look at what form it's in, and which method works best for that equation.

Looking at the problem I would look over and see which method I would have to use. Like for an example, if there is a Y= then I would use substitution.

angelafossmeyer — 2023-11-30 14:17:41 UTC

I look at the problem, to determine of what I need to do whichever it is such as eliminaton or substitution

I would see what the equation is and what I'm needing to solve for, which should clue me in on how I need to solve the equation.

If the question has a zero pair or in standard form then it would be best to use elimination. If the question has a y=, then I would use substitution. If there was y=mx+b then I would graph the equation.

Substitution

chilewatsonsanchez — 2023-11-30 14:17:50 UTC

I believe substation is fun and more challenging. Plus, you do it when y=something.

I feel like you should just use the method that is easiest for you and that makes the most sense to use with the specific question. -Lailah

How do you determine what method to use when solving system of equations:

leahmarkland — 2023-11-30 14:20:31 UTC

I would determine what method to use when solving system of equations by analizing the problem, how is it formated? What makes the most sense? Based on how the equation is set up, how could you solve it? - Leah

Determine:

I would look at what form the equation is in and what would be the best way to work it out. Some of the things I could use include, elimination, substitution, and graphing. - Reagan
