Question 1034017: What is the best method to solve the system of equations?
2x + 3y = 8
4x - 6y = 2
I think that the best method would elimination with addition or multiplication. The other options are substitution and graphing. Found 2 solutions by fractalier, MathTherapy:Answer by fractalier(6550) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! In this case, elimination is the best (not always, however)...
Here you would multiply the top one by 2 and add it to the bottom one...

Best method is to DIVIDE eq (ii) by 2. This will give you: 2x - 3y = 1 ----- eq (iii)
Now you can ADD eqs (iii) & (i) to find x. Then use value of x in any of the 2 original equations to find value of y
