Solve the following system of equations by multiplying. x + 4y = −16
2x + y = 3

Would it be easier to solve the system by using substitution? Complete the explanation.

The solution is _

It may be easier to solve using substitution because in the first equation there is no coefficient for the x or y select one
term so you can just solve for
x and y select one
and substitute the expression into the other equation. This way you don't have to come up with a value to multiply the equations by to eliminate variables.
