Understanding Linear Equations

This video tutorial covers the basics of linear equations, including definitions and examples of linear and non-linear equations. It explains how to solve linear equations in one variable using simple algebraic manipulations and extends to solving linear equations in two variables using methods like substitution and elimination. The tutorial provides step-by-step examples to illustrate each concept clearly.
