Give two systems of equations that would be easier to solve by substitution than by elimination. Then give two systems that would be easier to solve with elimination. Finally, explain how you decide whether to use elimination or substitution to solve a system.

Design an er diagram for keeping track of information about votes taken in the u.s. house of representatives during the current two-year congressional session. the database needs to keep track of each u.s. state's name (e.g., texas', new york', california') and include the region of the state (whose domain is {northeast', midwest', southeast', southwest', west'}). each congress person in the house of representatives is described by his or her name, plus the district represented, the start date when the congressperson was first elected, and the political party to which he or she belongs (whose domain is {republican', democrat', 'independent', other'}). the database keeps track of each bill (i.e., proposed law), including the bill name, the date of vote on the bill, whether the bill passed or failed (whose domain is {yes', no'}), and the sponsor (the congressperson(s) who sponsored - that is, proposed - the bill). the database also keeps track of how each congressperson voted on each bill (domain of vote attribute is {yes', no', abstain', absent'}). additional information:

Problem situation: caren is making rice and beans. she can spend no more than $10 on ingredients. she buys one bag of rice for $4.99. beans cost $0.74 per pound. how many pounds of beans, x, can she buy? inequality that represents this situation: 10≥4.99+0.74x drag each number to show if it is a solution to both the inequality and the problem situation, to the inequality only, or if it is not a solution.

Solve the equation. 2x - 8(x+1)= 6(2x - 3)
