The video tutorial introduces Cramer's Rule as a method for solving systems of linear equations using determinants. It provides a detailed explanation of setting up coefficient matrices and replacing columns with constants to find solutions. The tutorial includes examples with two and three variables, demonstrating the calculation of determinants and the application of Cramer's Rule. It also discusses the advantages of using this method for complex systems with unique solutions.
