STEPS:
Given any system of linear equations in two variables, any of the three
methods ( substitution, elimination, or graphing) can be utilized.
Elimination is preferred if it is easy to eliminate a variable by adding
multiples of two equations.
Use substitution if there is no obvious elimination.
Use graphing to confirm the solution(s) found using either elimination
or substitution.

Week 6 Day 2
SOLVING SYSTEMS OF LINEAR EQUATIONS IN THREE
VARIABLES USING ELIMINATION AND SUBSTITUTION
STEPS
1. Reduce the system of three equations in three variables to two
equations in two (of the same) variables by applying elimination.
2. Solve the resulting system of two linear equations in two variables
by applying elimination or substitution.
3. Substitute the solution in Step 2 into any of the original equations
and solve for the third variable.
4. Check that the solution satisfies all three original equations.
