This video tutorial teaches how to solve pairs of linear equations algebraically using substitution. It begins with a review of solving one-variable equations and extends this knowledge to linear systems. The tutorial provides three examples, demonstrating substitution, isolating variables, and combining like terms to find solutions. Each example concludes with a verification step to ensure the solution satisfies both equations. The lesson emphasizes that equations can be solved in any order and highlights the convenience of substituting isolated variables.
