Your friend says that any system of equations that can be solved by elimination can be solved by substitution in an equal or fewer number of steps. Order the steps for solving the system by each method to determine if your friend is correct. Only solve for one variable. The steps after solving for one variable are the same. Equation 1: 8x-5y=11
Equation 2: 4x-3y=5
Name all 6 steps in order to solve each, as well as the eliminations.

Is your friend correct?
(YES OR NO) ___the system above can be solved in fewer steps by
than by (SUBSTITUTION OR ELIMINATION) than by (SUBSTITUTION OR ELIMINATION).
