Elimination and substitution are two methods.
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.
It is important to know several techniques for solving equations and inequalities because one may work better than another in a particular situation.
well, if you know all the formulating equations it will make you better at regular equations and regular equations can be used in everyday life
Try a system of equations and substitution, or elimination here. 2X - 4Y = 3.8 3X - Y = 17.7 I will try elimination -3(2X - 4Y = 3.8) 2(3X - Y = 17.7) -6X + 12Y = -11.4 6X - 2Y = 35.4 ----------------------------add 10Y = 24 Y = 12/5 Put into one of original equations for X 3X -(12/5) = 17.7 3X = 201/10 X = 67/10 --------------- check 2(67/10) - 4(12/5) = 3.8 67/5 - 48/5 = 3.8 19/5 = 3.8 3.8 = 3.8 checks for that one, you check the other. Hint change to fractions, or decimals for better handling. My TI-84 can do this easily, but I do not know your calculator or capabilities

Oh, dude, like, the substitution method is cool because you can easily solve for one variable and plug it into the other equation. But, like, it can get messy with fractions and decimals. The elimination method is great for getting rid of one variable right away, but it can be a pain to keep track of all those plus and minus signs. So, like, pick your poison, man.

There are more than two methods, and of these, matrix inversion is probably the easiest for solving systems of linear equations in several unknowns.
Playing an instrument has been attributed to better problem solving skills. This is very helpful in the solving of complex math equations. For this reason and many more Learning an instrument is beneficial to young minds.
I'm not sure but both not very good at sailing, skydiving and solving fourth order equations.

The equations in math textbooks are of two types: 1) Equations like (a+b)^2 = a^2 +2ab + b^2. This is a formula, rule or theorem which tells you how to square a binomial. These theorems have been proven and collected over hundreds of years by mathematicians. 2) Find the solution set to x^2 + 5x -14 = 0. There are hundreds of equations in the exercise sets of any math text. The authors of the text make them up, and organize them so that they gradually get harder, and you can get better at solving them as you go through the exercises. ( The answer is { -7, 2 }. )
