Explanation:

The Graphing Method uses a graphing calculator or graph paper. You see where the two lines intersect, which is your answer.

The Substitution Method is where you make one equation x=Something in terms of y. Then, you put this x into the other equation and solve for y, then go back and solve for x.

The Elimination Method is when you multiply by some number so both equations have a matching variable number, then add or subtract.
