Solution Summary

This solution describes three methods of solving linear systems and the conditions in which each method is most efficient.

Solution Preview

Substitution is efficient if one of the variables is solved in terms of the other or is easily solved in terms of the other.
ex: 3x - 2y = 9
y = 2x - 7 so substitute to get 3x - 2(2x - 7) = 9, 3x - 4x + 14 = 9, -x + 14 = 9, -x = ...
