In solving systems of equations by elimination method you need to add or subtract the equations of lines. Let’s take ax+by=c and dx+ey=f as equations of two distinct lines. To add equations of lines means to add the respective coefficients of x and y and the constants. It is the same as adding like terms. That

Problems need not always be solved by equations alone. Problems that involve setting up equations can be solved using graphs also. This requires knowledge of interpreting equations in x as a function of x. This is an important knowledge as it will be handy in solving problems in calculus.  The key to the solution of
