Solving Linear Equations and Functions

Mr. Dell explains how to solve a word problem using a system of equations. The problem involves determining when German's test score will catch up with Khan's. The video covers defining variables, setting up equations, and solving them using the equal values method. The solution shows that German catches up with Khan between the fourth and fifth week.
