Key Concepts

Substitution Method

The substitution method is a technique used for solving systems of equations by expressing one variable in terms of another and then substituting this expression into the other equation(s). This process reduces the number of variables, simplifying the system to a single equation with one unknown, which can then be solved more easily.

System of Linear Equations

A system of linear equations consists of two or more linear equations with the same set of variables. The solution to the system is the set of values for these variables that satisfy every equation in the system simultaneously. These systems can represent the intersection points of lines, planes, or hyperplanes, depending on the number of variables involved.

Variable Isolation

Variable isolation is the process of rearranging an equation to solve for one variable in terms of others. This step is fundamental in methods like substitution because it allows one equation to be simplified, making it possible to substitute the isolated variable into another equation and reduce the complexity of the system.
