Understanding 2x2 Systems of Equations

In this video tutorial, Daniel Carrión explains how to solve a 2x2 system of equations using the graphical method. The video begins with an introduction to basic concepts, followed by a detailed walkthrough of solving two specific equations. The process involves plotting the equations on a graph, finding their intersection point, and verifying the solution. The tutorial concludes with a summary and additional exercises for practice.
