The video tutorial introduces solving systems of equations using substitution, a method applicable in algebra and beyond. It provides two examples, demonstrating how to substitute one equation into another to find the solution. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of having the same number of equations as unknowns and concludes with a discussion on parallel lines and solutions.

Why is substitution considered a powerful tool in algebra?

• It simplifies the process of graphing equations.

• It only works for linear equations.

• It eliminates the need for solving equations.

• It can be used in various advanced mathematics and engineering fields.
