Understanding One-Step Linear Equations with Integers

The video tutorial explains how to solve one-step linear equations using integers. It covers two examples: one with a negative number and one with a positive number. The focus is on isolating the variable on the right side of the equation by performing opposite operations on both sides. The tutorial emphasizes that the side on which the variable is isolated does not matter, and it demonstrates the process of simplifying equations to find the solution.

What is the main focus of the video tutorial?

• Solving quadratic equations

• Solving one-step linear equations with integers

• Graphing linear equations

• Solving systems of equations
