Solving Linear Equations Steps

This video tutorial by Mr. J covers solving equations, starting with one-step equations using addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. It progresses to multi-step equations, including those with variables on both sides, using the distributive property, and combining like terms. The tutorial also addresses equations involving negative numbers and those with two terms in the numerator. Each section provides examples and checks for correctness, offering a comprehensive understanding of solving equations.
