Summary for solving a system of equations by substitution

The video tutorial explains how to solve systems of equations using the substitution method. It covers the process of identifying a variable with a coefficient of 1 or -1, solving for that variable, and substituting it into the other equation. The tutorial also provides tips and tricks, highlights common mistakes, and emphasizes the importance of evaluating expressions correctly. The video concludes with a reminder to find solutions for both variables in a system.
