Steps to Solve Systems of Equations with Substitution

This video tutorial teaches how to solve a system of linear equations using substitution. It outlines five steps: identifying an equation in the form of x or y equals an expression, substituting this expression into the other equation, solving for one variable, substituting back to find the second variable, and checking the solution. The video includes three examples to illustrate these steps and emphasizes the importance of checking solutions. The tutorial is aimed at grade 8 students and encourages them to practice and verify their answers.
