The content of the system of linear equations makes it an interesting matter that can also be further expanded and deepened. The three methods most commonly used to solve systems of equations are substitution, elimination, and extended matrices. Replacement and elimination are simple methods that can efficiently solve most systems of two equations in a few direct steps. The extended matrix method requires several steps, but its application extends to a number of different systems. The elimination method is useful when the coefficient of one of the variables is equal (or its negative equivalent) in all equations.
