Solving Systems of Equations

The video tutorial explains how to solve a system of equations involving a quadratic and a linear equation using the substitution method. It begins by setting up the equations, then demonstrates solving the quadratic equation through factoring. The tutorial continues by finding the intersection points of the system and concludes with verifying the solutions by substituting them back into the original equations.

What method is being used to solve the system of equations in the video?

• Elimination

• Graphing

• Substitution
