To solve the system of equations, you can use either the substitution or elimination method. Both will help you find the values of and where the two lines intersect. For example, in the given system, if you apply the elimination method, you could first manipulate the equations to eliminate or by aligning the coefficients, allowing you to solve for the remaining variable and then backtrack to find both.

One common mistake students make is assuming the lines will always intersect. In some cases, the equations might represent parallel lines, which would yield no solutions. Alternatively, if the equations are identical, they represent the same line, resulting in infinitely many solutions. Always check if the lines provide a unique intersection point, show parallelism, or overlap!
