If you were to solve the following system by substitution, what would be the best
xxMikexx [17]
To solve the two equations simultaneously using the substitution method we need to rearrange one of the equation to make either 'x' or 'y' the subject. 

We can try in turn rearranging both equations and see which unknown term would have been easier to solve first

Equation 2x+8y=12

Making 'x' the subject
2x=12-8y , dividing each term by 2
x=6-4y⇒ (Option 1)

Making 'y' the subject
8y=12-2x, multiply each term by 8 gives
y= \frac{12}{8} - \frac{2}{8}x⇒ (Option 2)

Equation 3x-8y=11
Making 'x' the subject
3x=11+8y, divide each term by 3
x= \frac{11}{3}+ \frac{8}{3}y ⇒ (Option 3)

Making 'y' the subject
8y=3x-11, divide each term by 8
y= \frac{3}{8}x- \frac{11}{8} ⇒ (Option 4)

From all the possibilities of rearranged term, the most efficient option would have been the first option, from equation 2x+8y=12 with 'x' as the subject, x=6-4y

horrorfan [7]

Answer:The number of words that she would still have to type to finish her essay is 1000

Step-by-step explanation:

Karen is typing a 4,000 word essay. She can type at about 30 words per minute. This means that if her rate remains constant, the total number of minutes that it will take her to finish would be

4000/30 = 133.33 minutes.

If she types for 45 minutes on Monday, it means that the total number of words that she typed on Monday would be

45 × 30 = 1350 words

If she types for 55 minutes on Tuesday, it means that the total number of words that she typed on Tuesday would be

55 × 30 = 1650 words

Total number of words typed on Monday and Tuesday would be

1350 + 1650 = 3000 words

The number of words that she would still have to type to finish her essay would be

4000 - 3000 = 1000 words
