The video tutorial introduces linear equations in two variables, also known as simultaneous equations. It begins with a fruit basket puzzle to illustrate the concept, followed by solving the puzzle using trial and error. The tutorial then explains the algebraic method, specifically the substitution method, to solve the equations. Next, it covers the graphical method, demonstrating how to plot equations on a graph to find solutions. The video concludes with a summary of the methods discussed and encourages viewers to practice solving similar problems.
