Solve Systems of Equations with Multiple Unknowns
      When you’re solving equations with three variables (or unknowns), you do the same as you did previously with the substitution method. The only difference is that it has one more step. 
     I recommend that you split your page into three columns, with one equation in each column. Read the instructions below carefully! 
              How to solve equations with three variables 
      -     1.  
 -          Select         one         of         the         equations         and         solve         it         for         one         of         the         variables.         
 -      2.  
 -          Take         the         first         equation         and         input         it         into         the         other         two         equations.         Arrange         them         nicely         in         your         columns.         
 -      3.  
 -          Now         you         have         two         equations         with         two         variables.         You         can         solve         them         both         with         the         substitution         method.         
 -      4.  
 -          Using         the         two         answers         you         now         have,         you         input         them         into         the         equation         you         started         with         to         find         the         final         variable.         
 
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  Solve the set of equations: 
                                                                                                                
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   -      1.  
 - Select (2) and solve for :         
                           
                               -      2.  
 - Substitute your answer into the two other equations and tidy it:         
(1):  
                           
                       This is equal to          (3):         
         This simplifies to 
          -      3.  
 - Solve the set of equations with the two new equations. Substitute (5) into         (6):                  
Substitute this back into (5) and you get: 
          -      4.  
 - Substitute the two answers into (4) and solve:                  
The final answer is then
