Solving a System of a Quadratic and Linear Equation by Substitution

This video tutorial teaches how to solve a system of a quadratic and linear equation using substitution. It begins with an introduction to systems of equations and the substitution method. The tutorial then provides a detailed explanation of substitution, followed by a step-by-step example of solving quadratic and linear equations. The quadratic formula is applied to find solutions, including imaginary ones, and the tutorial concludes with a summary of the process.

What is the primary goal when solving a system of equations?
