The video tutorial demonstrates how to solve a system of equations with infinitely many solutions using row operations and matrix reduction. The instructor forms an augmented matrix, performs row operations to achieve row-reduced echelon form, and identifies free variables. The solution is parameterized using symbols for free variables. The instructor also uses CL Pack software to verify the solution, ensuring it matches the derived results.
