How to solve a system of equations by elimination | 8 examples

The video tutorial by Brian Mclogan covers solving systems of equations using the elimination method. It includes eight examples demonstrating different scenarios: no multipliers, one multiplier, two multipliers, infinite solutions, and no solutions. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of eliminating one variable at a time and using addition or subtraction to simplify equations. It also highlights the use of multipliers to align coefficients and solve more complex systems. The video concludes with a summary of the key points and encourages viewers to practice the techniques discussed.
