Understanding Two-Step Problems with Reverse PEMBAS

The video tutorial explains how to solve a two-step algebraic problem involving subtraction and multiplication. The instructor demonstrates the reverse PEMBAS method to isolate the variable B. The process involves identifying operations, addressing subtraction by adding, and solving multiplication by dividing, ultimately finding that B equals 12.

What is the main difference in the two-step problem discussed in the video compared to previous examples?

• It includes a minus sign instead of addition.

• It involves a division operation.

• It has more variables.

• It uses a different variable.

What does the acronym PEMBAS stand for in the context of solving equations?

• Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Subtraction, Addition

• Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication, Subtraction, Addition

• Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication, Addition, Subtraction

• Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction

How do we identify a multiplication operation in the given problem?

• By identifying a plus sign

• By finding a number next to a variable without space

• By looking for a division sign

• By checking for parentheses

What operation is performed to cancel out the subtraction of 12?

• Subtracting 12 again

• Adding 12

• Multiplying by 12

• Dividing by 12

After addressing subtraction, what is the next operation to solve the equation?

• Multiplication

• Division

• Subtraction

• Addition

What is the result of dividing 48 by 4 in the final step?

• 10

• 12

• 14

• 16

What is the final value of the variable B?
