The video tutorial introduces simultaneous equations, which are equations with multiple unknowns that need to be solved together. It explains three methods to solve them: graphically, by elimination, and by substitution. The focus is on solving linear equations using the elimination method, demonstrated through examples. The video emphasizes the importance of aligning equations and using the 'same sign subtract' rule. It concludes by highlighting that elimination is suitable for linear equations and introduces substitution for quadratic cases.

What are simultaneous equations?

• Equations with two or more unknowns that must be solved together

• Equations with one unknown

• Equations that can be solved independently

• Equations that only have graphical solutions
