Multiply every term in both equations by any number that is not 0 or 1, and has not been posted in our discussion already. Then solve the new system you have created using elimination or substitution method:

6x + 9y = -3

10x - 6y = 58

When is it best to solve a systems of linear equations using elimination?

Elimination is particularly easy when one of the coefficients is one, or the equation can be divided by a number to reduce a coefficient to one. This makes substitution and elimination more trivial.


Can quadratic systems be solved using elimination and substitution?

You can solve lineaar quadratic systems by either the elimination or the substitution methods. You can also solve them using the comparison method. Which method works best depends on which method the person solving them is comfortable with.

Solve the system using elimination 3x -9y equals 3?

Solving equations in two unknowns requires two independent equations. Since you have only one equation there is no solution.


Can you solve the system using elimination 3x plus 9y equals 3?

No. Solving equations in two unknowns requires two independent equations. Since you have only one equation there is no solution.


Solve the system of equations using the elimination method negative x plus y equals negative 3 and 3x plus 2y equals 9?

How do you decide whether to use elimination or subsitution to solve a three-variable system?

There is no simple answer. Sometimes, the nature of one of the equations lends itself to the substitution method but at other times, elimination is better. If they are non-linear equations, and there is an easy substitution then that is the best approach. With linear equations, using the inverse matrix is the fastest method.
