Solving One-Step Multiplication Equations

This video tutorial by Mr. J covers how to solve one-step multiplication equations. The process involves isolating the variable by using the inverse operation, which is division in this case. Two examples are provided: solving 8x = 72 and 39 = 13w. Each example is solved step-by-step, and the solutions are verified by substituting back into the original equations. The video emphasizes the importance of maintaining balance in equations by performing the same operation on both sides.
