In the system of equations below, which variable would it be easiest to solve for? x + 4 y = 14. 3 x + 2 y = 12 The easiest to solve for is x in the first equation. The easiest to solve for is y in the first equation. The easiest to solve for is x in the second equation. The easiest to solve for is y in the second equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the system of equation, x + 4 y = 14. and 3 x + 2 y = 12, to solve for x, we can use the elimination method of solving simultaneous equation. We need to get y first.

x + 4 y = 14 1 * 3

3 x + 2 y = 12 2  * 1

Lets eliminate x first. Multiply equation 1 by 3 and subtract from equation 2.

3x + 12 y = 42.

3 x + 2 y = 12

Taking the diffrence;

12-2y =42 - 12

10y = 30

y = 3

From equation 1, x = 14-4y

x = 14-4(3)

x = 14-12

x = 2

It can be seen that the easiest way to get the value of x is by using the first equation and we are able to do the substitute easily because the variable x has no coefficient in equation 1 compare to equation 2 as such it will be easier to make the substitute for x in the first equation.
