Provide an appropriate response.Write a system of two equations in two variables that would be most easily solved using the elimination method. Explain why elimination would be a better method to use than substitution in this case. Do not attempt to solve the system.

What will be an ideal response?


Answers will vary.
3x + 4y = -5,
2x + 5y = 7.
Elimination is a better method than substitution in this case, because it does not require calculations involving fractions, as substitution would.
