Solving an equation with brackets

The video tutorial explains how to solve a multi-step equation using the order of operations (PEMDAS) and inverse operations. It begins with simplifying the equation by combining like terms and applying the distributive property. The equation is then reduced to a two-step equation, which is solved using inverse operations to find the value of N. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of following the correct order of operations and provides a step-by-step approach to solving the equation.
