Solving One Step Equations with the STOP Method

The video introduces the STOP method, a mnemonic for solving one-step equations. It emphasizes the importance of balance in equations and demonstrates solving equations using addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. The method involves separating the equation, isolating the variable, performing the opposite operation, and checking the work. Examples are provided for each operation type, and the video concludes with a recap of the method.
