Math, microeconomics or criminal justice
n equations, n unknowns each with no power except 1 or 0, just x, y, z no squared terms, no cubic terms, just the variables and possible constants.
you can solve them with substitution and elimination or matrix algebra.
simplest system is 2 variables such as
x+y = 2
x-y = 4
sum them to get
2x =6 or x = 3
y=2-3 = -1
It gets more complicated and tedious with more variables
some systems are inconsistent with no solution
some linearly dependent with infinite solutions
or with a unique solution such as above
