Solving Equations with Variables and Distributive Property

This video tutorial covers solving equations with variables on both sides, using a step-by-step approach. It introduces the method of drawing a line to separate the equation, applying the distributive property, combining like terms, eliminating variable terms, isolating the variable, and solving for it. The tutorial includes several example problems to illustrate these steps.

What is the first step in solving equations with variables on both sides?

• Combine like terms

• Move variables to one side

• Draw a line to separate the problem

• Perform distributive property

What is the purpose of drawing a line to separate the problem?

• To perform the distributive property

• To visually divide the equation

• To combine like terms

• To isolate the variable

What does 'baby goes bathroom' refer to in solving equations?

• Isolating the variable

• Drawing a line to separate the problem

• Combining like terms

• Performing the distributive property

What is meant by 'clean your room' in the context of solving equations?

• Combining like terms on the same side

• Performing the distributive property

• Moving variables to one side

• Isolating the variable

When solving equations, why is it important to do the distributive property first?

• To isolate the variable correctly

• To simplify the equation

• To ensure accuracy in solving

• To combine like terms effectively

What does 'pork chops and applesauce' symbolize in equation solving?

• Performing the distributive property

• Combining like terms

• Drawing a line to separate the problem

• Moving a variable term to the other side

In the 'party's over' step, what is the main goal?

• To combine like terms

• To perform the distributive property

• To isolate the variable

• To draw a line and separate the problem

How do you eliminate a term when solving equations?

• By adding the same number to both sides

• By subtracting the term from one side

• By performing the distributive property

• By combining like terms

What is the final step in solving equations as described in the video?

• Move variables to one side

• Isolate the variable by performing the opposite operation

• Perform the distributive property

• Combine like terms

What does it mean to 'finish it' in the context of solving equations?

• To check your work

• To draw a line and separate the problem

• To perform the opposite operation to isolate the variable

• To move all variables to one side
