AExamination method
BExploration method
CIllustration method
DElimination method
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. Elimination method
1. Graphing comes first and substitution comes second.
2. The third method adds the two equations together to cancel a variable.
3. That third method is called the elimination method.
4. So the answer is elimination.
