Pleaseeeeeeeeeeeee and thankssssssss lotttttttt
I need it today!!!!
Answer by Mathtut(3670) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
x+y=4.......eq 1
y=2x+4......eq 2
:
one reason substitution would work well here is because in eq 2, y is already isolated.
:
graphing could work but many times graphing is inaccurate in determining the exact solution.
:
substitution is MUCH more reliable, although in graphing you get a visual picture of the system and can actually see the lines intersect.
