Solving One Step Equations with Multiplication and Division

The video tutorial explains how to solve one-step linear equations using integers. It covers the process of isolating the variable on one side of the equation, even when the variable is on the right side. Two examples are provided: solving 81 = -9x by dividing both sides by -9, and solving -8 = x / 7 by multiplying both sides by 7. The tutorial emphasizes understanding the operations needed to isolate the variable and provides a clear, step-by-step approach to finding the solution.
