Solving Systems of Equations

The video tutorial explains how to solve a system of equations using the substitution method. It begins by identifying the need to solve for one variable and demonstrates substituting the value of y from one equation into another. The tutorial then shows how to clear fractions by multiplying through the equation, leading to the solution for x. Finally, it calculates the value of y and presents the solution as an ordered pair.

What is the main challenge when solving a system of equations with two variables?

• You cannot solve for one variable directly.

• There are too many variables.

• The equations are too complex.

• The variables are not defined.

What is the first step in solving the system of equations in the video?

• Add the equations together.

• Multiply the equations.

• Substitute the value of y from one equation into the other.

• Divide the equations.

Why do we multiply the entire equation by two in the video?

• To simplify the addition.

• To change the variable.

• To eliminate the fractions.

• To make the equation longer.

What is the result of multiplying the equation by two?

• The variables are eliminated.

• The fractions are cleared.

• The equation becomes more complex.

• The fractions remain.
