Do you know what each of the four method do?

Merrbear01 think about each one... because if you do know what they do as @Brad1996 mentioned it would be such an easy question.

@Merrbear01 would you want to graph this?

mathlegend · Answer

Would you substitute because a variable is solved for?
Could you cancel out anything?

elimination because the x's already cancel each other out
