This video tutorial covers solving systems of equations using algebraic methods, focusing on substitution. It explains how to substitute known values into equations to reduce variables and solve for unknowns. The tutorial includes example problems and practice exercises, highlighting scenarios with infinite solutions and how to identify them.

What is the main goal when using the substitution method to solve a system of equations?

• To eliminate all variables

• To find the slope of the lines

• To convert the system into a one-variable equation

• To graph the equations

After solving for x, what should you do next to solve the system of equations?

• Multiply x by y

• Substitute x back into one of the original equations

• Divide x by y

• Graph the equations

In the second example, what do you substitute for y in the equation 2x - 3y = -1?
