Solving One-Step Equations with Multiplication: An Example

The video tutorial explains how to solve an equation involving a variable X that is multiplied by three. The teacher demonstrates the process of finding the inverse operation, which is division, to isolate X. By dividing both sides of the equation by three, the teacher simplifies the equation to find that X equals six. The solution is then verified by substituting the value back into the original equation, confirming that the solution is correct.
