How use elimination when your coefficients are not the same 5x + 3y = -10 , 3x + 5y = -6

The video tutorial explains how to use the elimination method in solving equations when variables are not the same. It covers finding the least common multiple (LCM) to align variables, applying the elimination method, and simplifying equations using negative multiplication. The tutorial concludes with solving the equation and emphasizes the importance of having the same number in front of variables for effective elimination.
