How to solve an equation using the addition property of equality

This video tutorial explains how to solve a one-step equation using the addition property of equality. It outlines four steps: circling the variable, identifying the operation, using the inverse operation, and checking the solution. The tutorial emphasizes understanding the addition property, which states that adding the same number to both sides of an equation keeps it balanced. By following these steps, students can solve equations effectively and verify their solutions.
