Staff Review
This lesson discusses a topic that can be very difficult -- solving a system of 3 equations in 3 variables. This lesson uses the elimination or addition method. To completely solve this type of problem, you must take two equations at a time. Each step in this problem is explained and written out. Great tutorial. The next lesson in this series solves this problem using substitution.
