Write each equations in popular form. ... Make the coefficients of one variable opposites. ... Add the equations ensuing from Step two to remove one variable. Solve for the last variable. Substitute the answer from Step four into one of the unique equations.
Add the two equations together. This will give you a single equation in one variable. Solve this - it should give you two solutions. Then replace the corresponding variable for each of the solutions in any of the original equations.
As there is no system of equations shown, there are zero solutions.
That they, along with the equations, are invisible!

You can replace a variable with an equal value or expression. Just make sure the same variable always gets the same value or expression.
The general idea is to solve one of the equations for one variable - in terms of the other variable or variables. Then you can substitute the entire expression into another equation or other equations; as a result, if it works you should end up having one less equation, with one less variable.
You can write an equivalent equation from a selected equation in the system of equations to isolate a variable. You can then take that variable and substitute it into the other equations. Then you will have a system of equations with one less equation and one less variable and it will be simpler to solve.
It means that if you replace one variable with one of the numbers, and the other variable with the other numbers, and then evaluate the expressions on each side of the equations, the equalities will be true.

Assuming the simplest case of two equations in two variable: solve one of the equations for one of the variables. Substitute the value found for the variable in all places in which the variable appears in the second equation. Solve the resulting equation. This will give you the value of one of the variables. Finally, replace this value in one of the original equations, and solve, to find the other variable.
The first step is usually to solve one of the equations for one of the variables.Once you have done this, you can replace the right side of this equation for the variable, in one of the other equations.
True. To solve a three variable system of equations you can use a combination of the elimination and substitution methods.
A system of equations is a set of equations with more than one variable dealing with the same material. If there are 2 variables, then the system must have 2 equations before it can be solved. 3 variables need 3 equations, etc.

Isolating a variable in one of the equations.
x isn't a value, just a variable standing for a number
