Elimination Method and Equation Solutions

The video tutorial covers the elimination method for solving systems of linear equations. It explains how to eliminate one variable by adding or subtracting equations, leading to a single-variable equation. The tutorial includes detailed examples and tips for aligning equations and using inverse operations. It concludes with advanced tips and introduces the concept of solution sets.
