Isolate the Variable

The video tutorial explains how to solve equations with variables on both sides by isolating the variable on one side. It covers the process of identifying the smaller variable term, using the distributive property, and handling negative coefficients. The tutorial provides step-by-step examples to demonstrate these techniques, ensuring a clear understanding of solving such equations.

What is the first step to take when you have a variable on both sides of an equation?

How do you determine which variable term to move when solving an equation?

What do you do after isolating the variable term on one side of the equation?

Explain the process of using the distributive property in the equation involving (X + 1).

What is the final value of X in the equation 4X + 5 = 3?
