This video tutorial by Mr. J introduces solving two-step equations by isolating the variable using inverse operations. It covers four examples, demonstrating how to solve equations by reversing the order of operations and checking solutions. The tutorial emphasizes maintaining balance in equations and provides a clear, step-by-step approach to finding solutions.

What is the first step in solving a two-step equation?

• Isolate the variable

• Use inverse operations

• Add the same number to both sides

• Multiply both sides by the same number
