elimination

Answered by GPT-5 mini AI
Elimination.

Reason: In standard form (Ax + By = C) the coefficients line up, so you can easily add or subtract the equations to eliminate one variable and solve directly. Substitution requires isolating a variable (often introducing fractions), and graphing is less precise.
