Algebra: Simultaneous Equations

The video tutorial explains how to solve simultaneous equations using the elimination method. It begins by introducing the problem and then demonstrates how to manipulate the equations to make one of the unknowns the same in both equations. The tutorial continues by adding the equations to solve for x and then substituting the value of x back into one of the original equations to find y. The video concludes with a review of the solution and the allocation of marks for each step.

How do you find the value of x after combining the equations?

What is the value of y after substituting x back into the original equation?

What are the final values of x and y, and how should they be recorded?
