Solving Systems of Equations

This video tutorial teaches how to solve a system of a quadratic and linear equation using substitution. It begins with an introduction to systems of equations and the substitution method. The tutorial then provides a detailed example, demonstrating how to substitute and solve the equations. The quadratic formula is used to find solutions, which are imaginary in this case, indicating no real intersection points. The lesson concludes with a summary of the process.
