| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| System of equations | two or more equations that share variables. |
| Substitution | solving one of the equations for one of the variables and then plugging this back into the other equation, "substituting" for the chosen variable and solving for the other. |
| Constraints | restrictions (limitations, boundaries) that need to be placed upon variables used in equations that model real-world situations. |
| Elimination | scaling one of the equations in such a way that when it is added or subtracted to the other equation, one variable will cancel out. |
