Solving Simultaneous equations Steps 1 Arrange the linear equation such that one of the two unknowns becomes the subject of the equation. 2 Substitute the new equation from step 1 into the non-linear equation. Simplify and express in the form ax2 + bx + c = 0. 3 Solve the quadratic equation by factorisation, completing the square or by using the formula
