1. Solve one of the equations for one variable in terms of the other variable.
2. Substitute the expression for the variable from step 1 into the other equation.
3. Solve the equation obtained in step 2 for the remaining variable.
4. Substitute the value found in step 3 back into the expression from step 1 to find the value of the first variable.
5. Write the solution as an ordered pair, (x, y), where x is the value found in step 4 and y is the value found in step 3.
