Which method should be used to solve the system? Explain your answer, including a description of the first step.x2 + y2 =1-10x + 9y =2

What will be an ideal response?


Substitution should be used, because using elimination would mean introducing an xy-term into the second equation unnecessarily. The second equation should be solved for x or y.
