Solving Linear Equations Concepts

The video tutorial explains how to solve a linear equation in one variable. It begins with simplifying the equation by eliminating parentheses and combining like terms. The tutorial then demonstrates how to clear fractions using the least common denominator. Next, it shows how to isolate the variable term by adding or subtracting terms on both sides. Finally, the solution is verified by substituting it back into the original equation.
