KS2 Primary Maths Age 9-13 - Equations: - Explained

The video tutorial explains how to solve a system of two equations to find the value of Y. It begins by introducing the equations: 8 = X + 3 and Y + 2 = 10 + X. The instructor first solves for X using the first equation, finding X = 5. This value is then substituted into the second equation to solve for Y, resulting in Y = 13. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of each step in the process, highlighting the marks awarded for finding X and substituting it correctly.

Explain the importance of finding the value of X in the context of the problem.
