Linear Equations and Systems

The video tutorial teaches how to solve pairs of linear equations using visual models. It begins with an introduction to visual models and their application in solving one-variable equations. The lesson then extends this strategy to pairs of linear equations, also known as linear systems. Through three examples, the tutorial demonstrates how to use visual models to find solutions by representing variables with colored boxes. The examples cover adding equations, using substitution, and simplifying equations to find solutions. The lesson concludes by reinforcing the visual approach to solving linear equations.
