Learning to solve a simple two step equation

The video tutorial explains how to solve equations using inverse operations. It begins with an equation where a variable is added by 5, and demonstrates how to use the subtraction property of equality to isolate the variable. The tutorial then shows how to use the division property of equality to solve for the variable, resulting in the final answer. The video concludes by encouraging students to complete the worksheets provided.

What is the first step in solving an equation using inverse operations?

• Undo multiplication and division

• Undo addition and subtraction

• Add a constant to both sides

• Multiply both sides by a constant

What operation is used to eliminate the addition of 5 in the equation?

• Multiplication

• Addition

• Subtraction

• Division

After subtracting 5 from both sides, what is the resulting equation?

• Y = 7

• Y = 14

• 2Y = 19

• 2Y = 14

What property is used to solve for Y after simplifying the equation to 2Y = 14?

• Division property of equality

• Multiplication property of equality

• Subtraction property of equality

• Addition property of equality

What is the final value of Y after solving the equation?

• Y = 19

• Y = 5

• Y = 7

• Y = 14
