Question

You have learned several methods for solving a system of equations. First, rank the methods in order of preference, noting which one you would choose to solve a system. Next, describe how to use the method you prefer and give reasons why it is your preferred method. Last, consider your least-preferred method and explain why you placed it at the bottom of your list.

Answer 1

Methods for solving a system of equations:
- elimination
- substitution
- augmented matrix

Ranks of method ( number one being the most preferred method)
1) elimination
2) substitution
3) augmented matrix


Elimination is my preferred method because it is simple and easy to work out and hard to get wrong.


Augmented matrix is my least preferred method because it is easy to get wrong and it requires complex steps to solve a simple equation.

Hope this helps ;)
