Solving Two Step Equations with Models

The video tutorial explains how to solve equations by building them from models. It begins with an introduction to the concept, followed by a demonstration of constructing equations from visual models. The instructor then solves two example equations, highlighting the steps involved, including handling negative coefficients and using inverse operations. The focus is on understanding the process of building and solving equations using models.

What is the first step in solving an equation?
