Chapter 3.2, Problem 68HP
To determine

To explain: why substitution method is sometimes more helpful than elimination and sometimes elimination is more helpful than substitution.

Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark

Explanation of Solution

Given:

Sometimes substitution method is more helpful and sometimes elimination method is more helpful.

Calculation:

It is to compare the use of the elimination and substitution methods for solving a system of equation.

When solving a system of two equations with two unknowns, if in one equation has the coefficient 1, or −1 in front of an unknown, it is easy to isolate it and express it in terms of the other one (substitution method). In case the coefficients are larger numbers, we better use the elimination method.

In the system has a higher degree, it is easier to use elimination methods, usually based on matrices.
