Explain when you would use the elimination method and when you would use the substitution method when solving a system of equations. When it is best to use each?

Respuesta :

Elimination is best to use when there is any common factors in both equations so your can cancel them out. I'm subsititytion, its best to use if it gives you a variable. Like y = or x= and so on... and substitute that value into the other equation. I really hope that makes sense...
