With a variable on both sides solving a multi step equation two ways

The video tutorial explains two methods to solve equations with variables on both sides. The first method involves eliminating variables by adding their inverses, focusing on two-step equations. The second method offers an alternative approach by removing fractions through multiplication. The tutorial emphasizes understanding and choosing the method that suits the learner's preference.

What is one method to solve equations with fractions as mentioned in the first section?

• Subtracting all terms

• Adding fractions directly

• Multiplying by zero

• Dividing by the largest coefficient

In solving a two-step equation, what should you undo first?

• Fractional coefficients

• Exponentiation

• Addition and subtraction

• Multiplication and division

What is the reciprocal of 3/4 used for in the second section?

• To undo multiplication by a fraction

• To eliminate variables

• To add fractions

• To simplify the equation

What is the alternative method to handle fractions in equations?

• Subtracting the largest term

• Dividing by the smallest coefficient

• Adding all terms

• Multiplying every term by the denominator

In the alternative method, what happens when you multiply every term by the denominator?

• The coefficients are doubled

• The variables are removed

• The fractions are eliminated

• The equation becomes more complex
