This math topic focuses on solving systems of linear equations using simple variable substitution. It presents multiple practice problems where students solve for one variable by substituting one equation into another. Each problem provides multiple-choice answers for the variable in question. These exercises serve as an introductory portion of a broader unit on algebra systems of equations.
