Solving One-Step Equations

In this video, Mr. J explains how to solve one-step equations using inverse operations. He covers six examples, demonstrating how to isolate the variable by performing the opposite operation on both sides of the equation. The video emphasizes the importance of keeping equations balanced and double-checking solutions.
