5.3 Exercise 32

Avg difficulty 2.5

For each system of linear equations, decide whether it would be more convenient to solve it by substitution or elimination. Explain your answer.

ⓐ {y=2x−13x−4y=−6\begin{cases} y = 2 x - 1 \\ 3 x - 4 y = - 6 \end{cases} ⓑ {6x−2y=123x+7y=−13\begin{cases} 6 x - 2 y = 12 \\ 3 x + 7 y = −13 \end{cases}
