1. Solving Linear Systems Algebraically
EQ: How do I solve a system of linear equations by substitution?

2. 2 Methods for Solving Algebraically
Substitution Method
(used mostly when one of the equations has a variable with a coefficient of 1 or -1)
Elimination Method

3. Solve by Substitution
1. 2x – 3y = -2
y = -x + 4
1. (2, 2)
