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:
The answer is the option B
the simplest way to solve the system is Substitution
Step-by-step explanation:
we have
\(y=\frac{1}{2}x\) ----> equation A
\(2x+3y=28\) -----> equation B
Substitute equation A in equation B
\(2x+3(\frac{1}{2})x=28\)
Solve for x
\(3.5x=28\)
\(x=8\)
Substitute the value of x in the equation A and solve for y
\(y=\frac{1}{2}(8)=4\)
The solution of the system of equations is the point \((8,4)\)
therefore
the simplest way to solve the system is Substitution
