However, substitution can get quite involved, especially if there are fractions because this only allows more room for error. Hence, we need an even more sophisticated way for solving systems in general. We call this method the addition method, also called the elimination method. We will build the concept in the following examples, then define a four-step process we can use to solve by elimination.
