This is off of Google since I'm not very good at explaining...
The substitution method is most useful for systems of 2 equations in 2 unknowns. The main idea here is that we solve one of the equations for one of the unknowns, and then substitute the result into the other equation. Step 1: Solve one of the equations for either x = or y = .
And this video from Khan Academy might be helpful too :)
