The math operation without a name
A new (easier?) way of doing System of Linear Equations by using a new math operator that as far as I know does not have a name. This would be especially useful for teachers trying to help students learn System of Linear Equations

Repeated emphasis of the target audience and naming convention undermines the subject at hand and more than satisfactory explanations.

the video is showing a way of thinking, but never let the viewer try for them self an then let us try this method, nice way of thinking
but I think the SoME is more about thinking and the video didn't really intrigued me

This is well-motivated and clear, but it is meant as a pedagogical tool for early high school, not directed at math enthusiasts. Also, as the creator mentions at the end of the video, the method he describes is not new - only not widely used.

Beautifully animated.
Regarding words for 'un-add', my suggestion would be 'split'.
Splitting a number into 2 parts intuitively feels like a additive split, rather than a multiplicative split or any other split, at least to me.
All that said, while I could follow your un-add solutions, and they were much easier to follow in ones head than the system of equations, I am still a bit fuzzy about what the Un-Add method is. How exactly do you pick what to split and how to split it?
If that choice is coming intuitively to a person, great. But otherwise, the system of linear equations may be easier since it does not need that insight.

I suggest getting a better microphone and using animations in your videos.

It was not for me

I like it. It has a similar feeling to the way East Asians are taught to solve algebraic equations before learning manipulation of variables though representations like a tape diagram. Much more intuitive for children to deal with in a transition to algebra.
You might look at Cognitively Guided Instruction materials for a label of "unadding". They describe a variety of structures for addition and subtraction type problems. I think this would fall under "Part-part-whole".
