The video tutorial explains how to solve one-step linear equations using integers. It emphasizes the goal of isolating the variable on one side of the equation, regardless of its initial position. Two examples are provided: solving 81 = -9x by dividing both sides by -9, and solving -8 = x / 7 by multiplying both sides by 7. The tutorial concludes with a summary of the methods used.

What is the primary goal when solving one-step linear equations?

• To convert the equation into a quadratic form

• To eliminate all numbers from the equation

• To make both sides of the equation equal

• To find the value of the variable
