Solving One Step Equations with Multiplication and Division

The video tutorial explains how to solve one-step linear equations where the variable is on the right side. It demonstrates solving two examples: 108 = 9x and 12 = x / 7. The process involves isolating the variable by performing inverse operations, such as division and multiplication, to both sides of the equation. The tutorial emphasizes that the solution can be written in different forms, such as x = 12 or 12 = x, and verifies the solutions by substituting back into the original equations.

What is the first step in solving a one-step linear equation with the variable on the right side?

• Subtract a constant from both sides

• Multiply both sides by a constant

• Add a constant to both sides

• Isolate the variable
