Who discovered the systems of linear equation?

The concept of systems of linear equations dates back to ancient civilizations such as Babylonians and Egyptians. However, the systematic study and formalization of solving systems of linear equations is attributed to the ancient Greek mathematician Euclid, who introduced the method of substitution and elimination in his work "Elements." Later mathematicians such as Gauss and Cramer made significant contributions to the theory and methods of solving systems of linear equations.


Is The elimination method is useful when you can eliminate one of the variable terms from an equation by adding or subtracting another equation?
