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.
There are several methods to solve linear equations, including the substitution method, elimination method, and graphical method. Additionally, matrix methods such as Gaussian elimination and using inverse matrices can also be employed for solving systems of linear equations. Each method has its own advantages depending on the complexity of the equations and the number of variables involved.
The origin of linear equations dates back to ancient civilizations, notably the Babylonians around 2000 BCE, who solved simple linear equations using geometric methods. The formalization of linear equations, however, was significantly advanced by Greek mathematicians like Euclid. The development of algebra in the Islamic Golden Age further refined these concepts, leading to the modern representation of linear equations in the 19th century with the introduction of coordinate systems by René Descartes. Today, linear equations are foundational in various fields, including mathematics, physics, and economics.
Equations are not linear when they are quadratic equations which are graphed in the form of a parabola

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.

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.
A linear system is a set of equations involving multiple variables that can be solved simultaneously. These equations are linear, meaning they involve only variables raised to the first power and do not have any exponents or other non-linear terms. Solving a linear system involves finding values for the variables that satisfy all of the equations in the system at the same time. This process is often done using methods such as substitution, elimination, or matrix operations.
