This math topic focuses on manipulating linear equation systems through addition or subtraction of multiples of one equation to another to simplify the system into a single solvable equation. It is designed to enhance skills in algebraic manipulation and solving linear systems of equations. Each problem presents a set of two equations with variables and constants, and the task involves combining these equations strategically to isolate one variable. This skill is fundamental in algebra, particularly useful in deriving values from systems of equations in more advanced mathematical contexts.
