Solving Linear Equations and Inequalities

The video tutorial covers solving equations with integers, focusing on working backwards to isolate variables. It explains solving equations involving addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. The tutorial also includes a word problem about temperature, demonstrating how to set up and solve an equation. The importance of checking solutions is emphasized throughout.

What is the first step in solving an equation with integers?

• Divide both sides by the same number

• Work backwards by doing the opposite operation

• Multiply both sides by the same number

• Add the same number to both sides
