Question 191530: Hello, can someone help me? I have a homework problem I just cannot figure out. My assignment asks me in a 2 variable problem, how do you determine what the first equation should be, and what determines what the second equation is. How are they similar and how are they different? I'd be very greatful for any help, I've been trying to write this all day and getting no where.The homework question does not include any actual problems. Than-x ahead of time to anyone that can help, I appreciate it. Orelan

Sorry, but you are going to have to share the entire problem. There is no general rule for determining what you ask. The answer would be specific to each problem of the type.
Once you have the equations established, it doesn't make any difference at all which one is "first." For example, the solution to the system:




is exactly the same as the solution to:
