We treat them from the determinantal and from the Gr\"{o}bner basis point of view. This results in effective algorithms for constructing the multivariate resultant. Other problems of the Elimination Theory are discussed: how to find an eliminant for a polynomial system, how to represent its zeros as the rational functions of the roots of this eliminant and how to separate zeros. =sponsor=
