The document describes how to solve systems of equations by combining like terms. It explains that combining equations can speed up the process compared to graphing or substitution. An example problem demonstrates the steps: 1) choose a variable to eliminate, 2) make coefficients opposite and combine equations, 3) solve for the remaining variable, 4) plug back into the original equation to find the other variable, and 5) check the solution. The worked example finds the solution is x=2, y=2.
