The video tutorial demonstrates how to use the Gauss-Jordan elimination method to solve a system of three linear equations. It begins by introducing the method and setting up the equations in matrix form. The instructor then performs a series of row operations to simplify the matrix and achieve reduced echelon form. Finally, the solution to the system is found by substituting values back into the equations, resulting in an ordered triple that represents the solution.
