Solving Quadratic Simultaneous Equations by Substitution and Factorization

The video tutorial explains how to solve simultaneous equations involving quadratics. It introduces the concept of quadratic equations, characterized by the presence of a squared variable, and demonstrates solving them using the substitution method. The tutorial covers factorization techniques to find solutions and addresses more complex equations involving additional variables. The video emphasizes the importance of obtaining multiple solutions due to the quadratic nature of the equations.
