Well the premise itself is pretty simple. An eigenvector is like one side of an equation, and the eigenvalue is some value that makes the overall equation true when it is multiplied by the other side. Of course this usually involve matrices which makes it a bit more complicated, but that is the general idea. This theroem has many implications depending on your field, but that stuff is much more than eli5.
