Understanding the Substitution Method in Solving Systems of Equations

The video tutorial explains how to solve a system of equations using the substitution method. It begins by introducing the concept and potential outcomes of solving systems of equations. The tutorial then demonstrates solving for X by substituting the expression for Y from the second equation into the first. After finding X, the value is substituted back to find Y, resulting in an ordered pair solution. The solution is verified both algebraically and graphically, confirming its accuracy. The video concludes with a graphical representation of the solution, showing the intersection point of the two equations.

What is the substitution method primarily used for?

• Solving a system of equations

• Solving quadratic equations

• Finding the derivative of a function

• Calculating the area of a triangle
