6 Steps to Solve ANY Linear Equation

The video tutorial explains how to solve linear equations using six steps. It begins with a problem statement and offers two approaches: following the steps or solving independently. The six steps include clearing parentheses, combining like terms, collecting variable and constant terms, solving for the variable, and checking the solution. Each step is detailed with examples, emphasizing the importance of verifying the solution. The tutorial concludes with a successful solution check, reinforcing the method's effectiveness.
