Exploring Multistep Same Side Problems

This video tutorial covers solving multi-step equations, emphasizing the importance of understanding terms and like terms. It explains how to combine like terms to simplify equations and solve them using two-step methods. The tutorial also addresses handling equations with decimal coefficients and demonstrates the use of the distributive property in solving more complex equations.

What does the term 'multi-step' in multi-step equations imply?

• Equations that require multiple operations to solve

• Equations that can be solved in one step

• Equations that only involve multiplication

• Equations that do not require any operations
