Elimination theory studies how to remove variables from systems of polynomial equations. A resultant eliminates one variable from two equations; back-substitution and checks in the original equations recover and verify full solutions.

Elimination theory is a branch of mathematical logic and algebra that deals with the process of eliminating variables from a set of equations or polynomials to simplify the problem or to gain insights into the relationships among the variables. It has applications in various fields, including algebraic geometry, computer science, and systems theory. One of the key aspects of elimination theory is the idea of finding resultant polynomials.
