• graphing, substitution, and elimination

• rearranging, thinking, and guessing

• only by graphing

When using any of the 3 methods to solve a system of linear equations the resulting solution is the same no matter which method is used.

• True; using any method will result in the correct solution.

• False; the solution varies because the solution depends on which method is used.
