Solving Simultaneous Equations using the Substitution Method

The video tutorial focuses on solving simultaneous equations using the substitution method. It begins with an introduction to the method, explaining how to solve simple equations by substituting known values. The tutorial progresses to more complex equations, demonstrating the process of substitution and equation manipulation. A real-life example involving the cost of apples and bananas is used to illustrate the practical application of the method. The video concludes with a summary of key points and the importance of substitution in solving equations.
