Elimination and substitution are two methods.
I have never seen the term 'symbolic' used in this way. There are 4 methods used to solve a system of linear equations in two variables. Graphing, Substitution, Elimination, and Cramer's Rule.
You would solve them in exactly the same way as you would solve linear equations with real coefficients. Whether you use substitution or elimination for pairs of equations, or matrix algebra for systems of equations depends on your requirements. But the methods remain the same.
Equations are not linear when they are quadratic equations which are graphed in the form of a parabola
They are not. A vertical line is not a function so all linear equations are not functions. And all functions are not linear equations.

There are more than two methods, and of these, matrix inversion is probably the easiest for solving systems of linear equations in several unknowns.

Equations = the method
The answer depends on the nature of the equations. For a system of linear equations, the [generalised] inverse matrix is probably simplest. For a mix of linear and non-linear equations the options include substitution, graphic methods, iteration and numerical approximations. The latter includes trail and improvement. Then there are multi-dimensional versions of "steepest descent".
A system of linear equations is two or more simultaneous linear equations. In mathematics, a system of linear equations (or linear system) is a collection of linear equations involving the same set of variables.
All linear equations are functions but not all functions are linear equations.
There is no quadratic equation that is 'linear'. There are linear equations and quadratic equations. Linear equations are equations in which the degree of the variable is 1, and quadratic equations are those equations in which the degree of the variable is 2.

The answer will depend on what kinds of equations: there are linear equations, polynomials of various orders, algebraic equations, trigonometric equations, exponential ones and logarithmic ones. There are single equations, systems of linear equations, systems of linear and non-linear equations. There are also differential equations which are classified by order and by degree. There are also partial differential equations.
