Solving Multi Step Equations Review

This video tutorial reviews solving multi-step equations with variables on one side of the equal sign. It covers simplifying both sides of the equation, using the additive inverse to make zero, and applying the multiplicative inverse to isolate the variable. The tutorial includes examples, highlighting common mistakes such as forgetting to distribute negative signs. The video aims to reinforce understanding of these concepts through step-by-step explanations.

What is the first step in solving a multi-step equation with variables on one side?
