Mastering Systems of Equations

This video tutorial by John covers everything you need to know about systems of equations for the SAT. It explains how to identify systems of equations, the three types of systems questions (number of solutions, solving for variables, and solving for expressions), and provides methods for solving each type efficiently. The video also offers additional resources for further learning and practice.
