Do you think that different methods have different uses?  I do.  I think that the whole point of methods is to have an easier way to find the answer of an equation or expression.  Some methods may work better for you than others.  Everyone is different, and your brains don't all think alike.  
     For example, to simplify the equation: 6x+2 is less than or equal to 3(2x+4), me and my partner Malaena use different methods to solve it.  I first distribute; then I get the x's on one side, and the units on the other.  However, she simplifies, then stops, since with this problem, you do not need to finish it.  All in all, peoples' brains think differently than others, so some methods will work better than others, for you.
