Solving Linear System Word Problems

The video tutorial covers solving linear system word problems using an example of ticket sales at a school play. It explains how to define variables, determine final values, create equations, and solve them to find the number of student and adult tickets sold. The process involves setting up two equations based on the total number of tickets sold and the total revenue generated, and then solving these equations to find the solution.
