Provide an appropriate response.Write a system of equations that would be more easily solved using the substitution method than the elimination method. Explain why substitution would be easier than elimination.

What will be an ideal response?


Answers may vary.
 3x + 2y = 4,
 x = 3y + 5
Substitution is easier to use then the elimination method since the second equation has a variable alone on one side. Thus a solution using substitution would require fewer steps than a solution using the elimination method.
