Question

Which method would be the simplest way to solve the system?. y=1/2x. 2x+3y=28. A. Graphing . B. Substitution. C. Elimination . D. Distributive

Answer 1

Substitution is your answer

Answer 2

The answer is the option B

the simplest way to solve the system is Substitution

Explanation:

we have

`y=(1)/(2)x` ----> equation A

`2x+3y=28` -----> equation B

Substitute equation A in equation B

`2x+3((1)/(2))x=28`

Solve for x

`3.5x=28`

`x=8`

Substitute the value of x in the equation A and solve for y

`y=(1)/(2)(8)=4`

The solution of the system of equations is the point
`(8,4)`

therefore

the simplest way to solve the system is Substitution
