Solving a system of equations by applying the addition method x+y=6, x‐y=‐2

The video tutorial explains the elimination method for solving systems of equations. It covers aligning variables and ensuring coefficients match, then choosing to add or subtract equations based on the signs of the coefficients. The tutorial demonstrates solving for variables after eliminating one variable, using an example where the coefficients are the same but with opposite signs.
