You work with fractions!
For example, if one the equation in a problem involving two equations were
2x + 3y = 5 then it can be re-written as 2x = 5 - 3y so that x = (5 - 3y)/2 or 5/2 - 3y/2
Use one of those forms in the other equation.
It often doesn't matter which one you solve for first. But if you can easily solve one of the equations for one of the variables, that's the one you should solve for.
It is not always the best method, sometimes elimination is the way you should solve systems. It is best to use substitution when you havea variable isolated on one side
Use the substitution method to solve the system of equations. Enter your answer as an ordered pair.y = 2x + 5 x = 1
There are no disadvantages. There are three main ways to solve linear equations which are: substitution, graphing, and elimination. The method that is most appropriate can be found by looking at the equation.
there are three methods: combination, substitution and decomposition.

the substitution method in which you take each variable and you find out the value and then plug it into the original equation.the adding and subtracting method in which you subtract\add equations to take out a variable and you can figure out what the other variable is. then you also substitute that into that into the original variable

There is no simple answer. Sometimes, the nature of one of the equations lends itself to the substitution method but at other times, elimination is better. If they are non-linear equations, and there is an easy substitution then that is the best approach. With linear equations, using the inverse matrix is the fastest method.
That's exactly the purpose of the substitution method ... to get an equation with one less variable. When you have it, you solve it for the variable that's left.

By the substitution method By the elimination method By plotting them on a graph
There are several techniques to solve linear equations. One common technique is the elimination method, where you eliminate one variable by adding or subtracting equations. Another technique is substitution, where you solve one equation for a variable and substitute it into the other equation. You can also use matrices and row operations to solve linear equations.
Substitution is a way to solve without graphing, and sometimes there are equations that are impossible or very difficult to graph that are easier to just substitute. Mostly though, it is a way to solve if you have no calculator or cannot use one (for a test or worksheet).
