Solve a multi step equation with two variables and distributive property ex 19, –7=3(t–5)–t

The video tutorial explains how to solve a multi-step equation for the variable T. It begins by introducing the problem and emphasizes the importance of removing parentheses using the distributive property. The tutorial then demonstrates how to combine like terms to simplify the equation. Once simplified, the instructor shows how to solve the two-step equation using inverse operations, ultimately finding the value of T. The video concludes with a summary of the steps taken to solve the equation.

What is the first step in solving a multi-step equation with parentheses?

• Apply the distributive property

• Combine like terms

When combining like terms, what should you do if you have multiple variables on one side?

• Move them to the other side

• Rewrite them next to each other

• Add a constant to each variable

• Ignore the variables

After combining like terms, what type of equation do you typically have?

• A two-step equation

• A linear equation

• A quadratic equation

• A one-step equation

What operation should be used to isolate the variable in a two-step equation?
