The video tutorial explains how to solve multi-step equations without using the distributive property. It covers combining like terms, using inverse operations to move variables and constants, and provides three examples to illustrate these concepts. The tutorial concludes with a review of the steps involved in solving such equations.

What is the first step in solving multi-step equations without the distributive property?

• Add constants to both sides

• Move variables to the right side

• Use inverse operations

• Combine like terms on both sides
