Strategic Method Selection for Age-Based Systems
A logistics manager is using a standard problem-solving strategy to determine the ages of two delivery vehicles for a maintenance audit. The manager has translated the problem into two equations: one representing the sum of the ages and another where one vehicle's age is expressed in terms of the other (e.g., V1 = V2 + 3). Name the specific algebraic method that is considered the 'natural choice' for the 'Solve' step in this scenario, and state the structural reason why this method is recommended.
