Solving a multi step equation with distributive property on both sides

The video tutorial explains how to solve equations by isolating the variable. It covers the importance of using the order of operations and the distributive property to simplify equations. The tutorial demonstrates combining like terms and moving all variables to one side of the equation. Finally, it shows how to solve for the variable and verify the solution by plugging it back into the original equation.

What is the primary goal when solving an equation with multiple variables?

• To add more variables

• To isolate one variable on one side

• To multiply all variables

• To eliminate all variables

What should you do when you see parentheses in an equation?

• Ignore them

• Use the distributive property to eliminate them

• Add more parentheses

• Divide the equation by 2

How do you apply the distributive property to the expression 6(A + 12)?

• 6A + 72

• 6 + 12A

• A + 12

• 6A + 6

What is the next step after getting all variables on one side of the equation?

• Add more variables

• Combine like terms

• Multiply by zero

• Subtract the constant

If 7A equals -84, what is the value of A?

• -12

• 12

• -7

• 0
