You are given two equations. Rearrange one of them using algebra to get in the form: y = f(x) or x = f(y) once you have that, substitute your new y into the second equation. [NOTE: your second equation should only have 1 variable, either all x's or all y's. whichever you chose to substitute for]. Combine like terms and solve for x (or y). Then, plug in that new value into the first equation and solve for y (or x).
