Solving Multi Step Equations with Algebra Tiles

The video tutorial demonstrates solving the equation 2x + 3 = 7. It begins by introducing the problem and explaining the goal of isolating the variable X. The teacher uses zero pairs to simplify the equation, leaving 2x = 4. The next step involves dividing both sides to find the value of X, which is 2. Finally, the solution is verified by substituting X back into the original equation to ensure it holds true.
