Step 1: Solve for one of the variables in one of the equations.

Step 2: Substitute that quantity in place of that variable in the other equation.

Step 3: Solve the resulting equation for the second variable.

Step 4: Substitute the value of the second variable into the first equation.

Step 5: Find the value of the second variable.

Step 6: Substitute both values of the variables into both equations to check.

(Oops!! That's six steps!! Sorry about that.)
