Understanding Equations

This video tutorial introduces the concept of equations, explaining them as equalities with unknowns. It covers the basics of equalities, differentiating between true and false equalities, and provides a clear definition of equations. The tutorial demonstrates how to solve equations, including those with multiple solutions, and concludes with practice exercises to reinforce learning.

What is an equation primarily defined as?

• A comparison of two different values

• A mathematical statement with unknowns

• A statement that is always true

• A calculation without variables
