You do the following:
1) Solve one of the equations for one of the variables
2) Substitute this variable in the other equation or equations
3) Simplify
This should normally give you one less equation than the original set, with one less variables. For example:

You use substitution when you can solve for one variable in terms of the others. By substituting, you remove one variable from the equation, which can then be solved. Once you solve for one variable, you can use substitution to find the other.
You'd need another equation to sub in
You cant solve it unless it is an equation. To be an equation it must have an equals sign.
by elimination,substitution or through the matrix method.
