Solving by Substituting
To find exact solutions, use algebraic methods like the substitution method.
Use substitution when at least one of the coefficients in the system is 1 or 1. Solve for this variable in terms of the other one. Then substitute that expression into the other equation.
If you eventually get an equation that is always true, then the system has an infinite number of solutions.
If you eventually get an equation that is never true, then the system has no solution.
