This video tutorial explains how to solve a system of two equations with two variables using the Gaussian elimination method, also known as the Gauss-Jordan elimination method. The process involves transforming the system into a matrix form, performing row operations to simplify the matrix, and achieving a reduced row echelon form to find the solution. The tutorial concludes with the solution of the system, demonstrating the x and y values.
