The video tutorial covers solving systems of linear equations using the elimination method. It begins with an introduction to the method, followed by three detailed examples demonstrating how to eliminate variables to find solutions. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of balancing equations, combining like terms, and using substitution after elimination. It concludes with a summary of the key points and encourages students to practice explaining the method.

What is the main goal of the lesson?

• To learn how to graph linear equations

• To solve a system of linear equations by elimination

• To factor polynomials

• To understand quadratic equations
