Explain why you would solve the system y = 2x and 3x + y = 10 using substitution instead of by graphing?

Step-by-step explanation: I would use substitution for this system because one of the variables, y, is already isolated in the first equation.

If we were to solve by graphing, we would first need to convert the

second equation to y = mx + b form and then graph both of the lines.
