5. |
Which method of finding solutions would work best to find the solutions to the system 12.4x – 3.66y = 12.19, 3.9x + 6.17y = 19.28, and why? |
| |
|
A. |
elimination, because Cramer's Rule doesn't apply to this problem |
| |
|
B. |
Cramer's Rule, because none of the other methods will correctly solve the problem |
| |
|
C. |
elimination, because 6.17 is a factor of 3.66 |
| |
|
D. |
Cramer's Rule, because there are fewer calculations. |
