Question

HELP AGAIN PLEASE 20 POINTS What methods can be used to solve a system of equations and when would you use each? Be sure to include systems with nonlinear equations.​

Answer 1

Answer:

The three ways to solve a system of equations are substitution, elimination, and graphing. You can use these methods to solve any system of equations, it just depends on which method you use.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the substitution method, you get one variable isolated on one side of an equation, then use that equation to substitute the variable with what it's equal to into the second equation to solve the equation.

In the elimination method, you get all the variables in your equations together one side, and the constant on the other. Then, multiply or divide one or two equations to get one variable with the same coefficient for both equations (be sure to multiply or divide both sides to each equation), and add or subtract the equations together to get rid of that variable (make sure to add the left sides of the equations together and the right sides of the equations together, no the opposite!) and solve the equation.

In the graphing method, you solve for y in each equation, graph both equations on a coordinate plane, and find the point of intersection for both lines to solve the equation (For example, if the point of intersection is (2, 7), the answer to your equation would be X = 2 and Y = 7).
