Algebraic Equations and Solutions

The video tutorial demonstrates how to model and solve the equation 4x - 2 = 2(x + 3) using algebra tiles. It covers the process of setting up the equation with tiles, combining like terms, eliminating constants and variables, and verifying the solution. The tutorial emphasizes the use of zero pairs to simplify the equation and concludes with a verification of the solution, x = 4.
