Solving a System of Linear Equations by Elimination

A small business owner is comparing the monthly costs of two different utility providers using a system of linear equations. To find the exact usage point where the costs are equal using the substitution method, arrange the following procedural steps in the correct order from start to finish.

A project manager is comparing the costs of two different software subscriptions using a system of linear equations. To solve this system using the substitution method, what is the first step the manager should take if neither equation has a variable already isolated?

A logistics coordinator is comparing two different fuel supply contracts whose costs are modeled by a system of linear equations. Match each step of the substitution method with its corresponding action in this business analysis.

A project manager is comparing two different project estimates using a system of linear equations. To solve this system using the substitution method, the manager substitutes an expression for one variable into the second equation. This step is designed to produce a new equation that contains exactly ____ variable(s).

When using the substitution method to solve a system of linear equations for an office lease comparison, the first step of solving for one variable is mandatory even if one equation is already provided in a form where a variable is isolated (such as $y = 25x + 500$).
