Solving One Step Equations: Key Concepts and Techniques

This video tutorial covers solving one-step equations using inverse operations. It explains how to isolate variables by applying the inverse of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. The tutorial provides examples for each type of operation and emphasizes the importance of performing the same operation on both sides of the equation. The lesson concludes with a recap of the steps involved in solving equations.

What is the inverse operation of addition?

• Division

• None of the above
