The video tutorial explains how to solve the equation 2 + 6.9 * B = 29.6 using two methods. The first method involves solving the equation with decimals, while the second method clears decimals by multiplying both sides by 10. Both methods aim to isolate the variable B and find its value. The solution is verified by substituting the value back into the original equation to ensure both sides are equal.

What is the main objective when solving the equation 2 + 6.9 * B = 29.6?

• To find the value of B that makes the equation true.

• To determine the value of 6.9.

• To solve for the variable 2.
