Solving One Step Equations with Variables on the Right

This video tutorial explains how to solve one-step linear equations where the variable is on the right side. It covers the process of isolating the variable by performing opposite operations on both sides of the equation. The tutorial provides examples of solving equations by undoing addition and subtraction, ensuring the solution satisfies the original equation.

What is the main goal when solving one-step linear equations?

• To isolate the variable

• To add numbers

• To multiply numbers

• To find the variable on the left side
