100

Use when one equation is already

solved for a variable or can be easily

rearranged.

Substitution Method

100

4y + 2x = 5 

x = 8 - 2y

No solutions. The system is inconsistent.

(0, 7)

200

Use when the equations are lined up in

standard form (Ax + By = C) and adding

or subtracting eliminates a variable.

Elimination Method
