Solving One-Step Equations: Key Concepts and Examples

The video tutorial reviews solving one-step equations, focusing on isolating the variable using inverse operations. It covers examples of equations involving addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, demonstrating how to solve each type and verify the solution by substituting back into the original equation.

What is the primary goal when solving a one-step equation?

• To get the variable alone on one side of the equation

• To add numbers to both sides

• To multiply both sides by the same number

• To divide both sides by the same number
