Solving One-Step Equations with Addition and Subtraction

This video tutorial covers solving one-step equations using addition and subtraction. It begins with a review of key concepts such as equations and inverse operations. The tutorial then outlines a three-step process for solving one-step equations: identifying the operation, applying the inverse operation to both sides, and verifying the solution. Two examples are provided to illustrate the process: solving g + 5 = 11 and 17 = h - 11. The video emphasizes the importance of balancing equations and verifying solutions.
