Graphical method
When a pair of simultaneous equations are graphed together and have a point of intersection, the x andy value of that point will solve that pair of equations.

Substitution method
If one pronumeral is expressed in terms of the other in at least one of the two equations, then it is often easier to use the substitution method to solve the pair of simultaneous equations.
Examples:
1. If y
= 3x =

= 4,
find y.
y=3x-4

Multiply the following equations by 4: (a) 4x + 5y = 7 (b) 2x - 3y = 1 (d) -2(4x+3y=-I) (e) -4(x - 2y = 3) (f) -3(-2x + Y = -5) (c) 5x-3y=-2 (d) -2x + 2y = 5 (c) -3x + 4y =-2 (d) 6x - 5y = -4
In the elimination method, we eliminate the pronumeral with the opposite sign; that is, the pronumeral with a positive coefficient in one equation and a negative coefficient in the other equation. We must make sure that the coefficients of that pronumeral are equal in size but opposite in sign. That pronumeral will then be eliminated when the equations are added.
