If you can easily isolate one of the variables, use SUBSTITUTION! STEPS: 1. SOLVE 2. SUBSTITUTE 3. SUBSTITUTE 4. The values of x and y 5. CHECK *Remember: The solution to a system is an ordered pair (x , y) that makes the equation true. one of the equations for one of its variables the expression from step 1 into the other equation and solve for the other variable the value from step 2 into the revised equation from step 1 and solve make the ordered pair solution the solution in each of the original equations
