Solving systems of linear equation

From the question, we are to determine whether it would be more convenient to solve the system of equations by substitution or elimination

The given system of equations is

2 = 4y - 10     ----------- (1)

7x +12y = 7    ----------- (2)

In equation (1), we can see that there is no variable x in the equation. Thus we can solve for y and then substitute the value of y into equation (2).

That is,

From equation (1)

2 = 4y - 10

2 + 10 = 4y

12 = 4y

12/4 = 4y/4

3 = y

y = 3

Now, we can substitute the value of y into equation (2) to determine the value of x

Hence, the more convenient method to solve the given system of equations is by elimination.
