Solving Linear Equations and Distributions

The video tutorial explains how to solve an algebraic equation by distributing terms, combining like terms, and isolating the variable x. The process involves distributing coefficients, simplifying the equation by combining like terms, and solving for x by isolating it on one side of the equation. The solution is found by dividing both sides of the equation by the coefficient of x.

What is the first step in solving the given equation?

• Combine like terms

• Distribute the constants

• Subtract the constants

• Add the constants

What is the result of distributing 2 in the equation?

• 4x - 2

• 2x + 2

• 2x - 2

• 4x + 2

After distributing, what is the next step in solving the equation?

• Divide by the coefficient

• Combine like terms

• Add the constants

• Multiply by the coefficient
