1) Graphing- If you graph the numbers you will easily be able to identify the answer.
2) Substitute- Substitute numbers in for x or y until they're equal on both sides.
EX: 2x+2=10
Substitute numbers in until you get a number that makes it equal on both sides
x= 4
3) Elimination- Eliminate numbers from both sides until they're equal.
Hope this helped! :)
