NOTE: You have seen a page similar to this one previously, where it described how to solve linear-linear systems of equations. This page, however, describes how to solve linear-quadratic systems of equations.

In previous math courses you learned that systems of equations can be solved algebraically by comparison, elimination or substitution.

The following examples show how linear-quadratic systems of equations can be solved by all three strategies.

Note that each situation calls for its own strategy, and each person prefers a different method. It is up to you to choose which algebraic method, or combination of methods you use for each problem.
