Solve an equation using the square root method

The video tutorial explains how to solve equations using inverse operations. It covers the process of isolating the variable by undoing addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. The tutorial also discusses handling powers and square roots, emphasizing the importance of considering both positive and negative roots. The video concludes with a verification of the solution.

What is the first step in solving an equation using inverse operations?

• Undo multiplication and division

• Undo addition and subtraction

• Apply the square root

• Isolate the variable

After undoing addition and subtraction, what is the next step in solving an equation?
