A system can contain as many equations as you can input. Furthermore, it can contain different types of equations. For example, one equation can be linear, and the other can be a nonlinear equation. We will call this system a nonlinear system of equations. In easy words, a system of equations is nonlinear when at least one of its equations is not in the first degree. The condition is that one of the system's equations shouldn't be linear. However, it can have many nonlinear equations but if we talk about the lower limit, the system should have at least one nonlinear equation.

The solution of these systems is usually done by the substitution method. To execute this method, follow the following steps:

1. Work out the value of an unknown in one of the equations, preferably in an equation of the first grade.

$\text{[math]}$

2. Substitute the value of the unknown in the other equation.

$\text{[math]}$

3.Solve the resulting equation.

$\text{[math]}$ $\text{[math]}$ $\text{[math]}$ $\text{[math]}$ $\text{[math]}$ $\text{[math]}$ $\text{[math]}$

4. Each of the values obtained are substituted into the other equation, and corresponding values of another unknown are obtained.
