Understanding One-Step Linear Equations

The video tutorial explains how to solve one-step linear equations, even when the variable is on the right side. It provides two examples: solving 108 = 9x by dividing both sides by 9, and solving 12 = x / 7 by multiplying both sides by 7. The tutorial emphasizes that the steps to isolate the variable are the same regardless of its position in the equation.

What is the first step in solving a one-step linear equation with the variable on the right side?

• Isolate the variable by performing the opposite operation

• Multiply both sides by zero

• Subtract a constant from both sides

• Add a constant to both sides
