How do you determine if a point is a solution to a system of equations?

Back

Substitute the point's coordinates into each equation. If all equations are satisfied, the point is a solution.

What is the substitution method for solving systems of equations?

Back

Solve one equation for one variable and substitute that expression into the other equation.
