Solve an equation with a variable on both sides of the equation

The video tutorial explains how to solve equations with variables on both sides. It begins by introducing the concept of aligning variables on one side of the equation. The instructor demonstrates how to simplify the equation by removing terms and performing operations to isolate the variable. The tutorial concludes with final steps to solve the equation and find the solution, emphasizing the importance of keeping the variable by itself on one side of the equation.

What is the first step suggested by the instructor when solving equations with variables on both sides?

• Get rid of the smallest variable

• Divide both sides by the same number

• Multiply both sides by the same number

• Add the variables together

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

• 76 = 6X + 10

• 76 = 11X + 5X + 10

• 76 = 11X - 5X + 10

• 76 = 11X - 5X - 10

Why is it important to subtract the same value from both sides of an equation?

• To make the equation more complex

• To keep the equation balanced

• To simplify the equation to zero

• To eliminate all variables

What operation is used to isolate the variable X in the equation 66 = 6X?

• Subtraction

• Addition

• Division

• Multiplication

What is the final solution for X in the equation discussed?

• X = 6

• X = 76

• X = 11

• X = 66
