Solving One and Two Step Equations Challenge

This video tutorial introduces solving one and two-step equations using inverse operations. It emphasizes the importance of balancing equations, showing all work, and checking solutions. The tutorial provides examples, focusing on handling negatives and common mistakes. It concludes with an introduction to two-step equations, explaining the order of operations in solving them.

What is the first step in solving equations as discussed in the video?

• Perform the same operation on both sides

• Only manipulate one side of the equation

• Subtract the same value from both sides

• Add the same value to both sides

What operation would you use to solve the equation W + 8 = 13?

• Multiply both sides by 8

• Divide both sides by 8

• Subtract 8 from both sides

• Add 8 to both sides

In the context of the video, what is the purpose of checking your solution?
