which method is most efficient in solving a system of linear equations when the two equation have x-values with opposite coefficient values


A. GUESS AND CHECK
B. GRAPHING
C. SUBSTITUTION
D. ELIMINATION

Respuesta :

Answer: D) Elimination

For example, consider the system of equations below
2x+3y = 9
-2x+6y = 18
Adding straight down will have the x terms (2x and -2x) add to 0x which is just 0. The x terms will go away. In this case, the 2 and -2 are opposite coefficient values for the x terms.
