Solving Systems of Equations: Substitution and Elimination Techniques

The video tutorial covers solving systems of linear equations using substitution and elimination methods. It begins with an introduction to the concepts, followed by a detailed explanation of the substitution method, including examples. The tutorial then shifts to the elimination method, demonstrating how to solve systems with equations in standard form. Advanced techniques in elimination are discussed, such as transforming equations to eliminate variables. The video concludes with special cases in systems of equations, explaining scenarios with no solution or infinitely many solutions.
