How To Solve One - Step Equations (Addition & Subtraction)

The video tutorial demonstrates how to solve algebraic equations using algebra tiles. It begins with solving X + 1 = 3, showing both the algebra tile method and the traditional method. The tutorial then moves on to solve P - 5 = -2 and Y + 4 = -7, using similar techniques. Each example is followed by a verification step to ensure the solution is correct. The video emphasizes the importance of balancing equations and visualizing them with tiles.

What steps do you take to isolate the variable P in the equation P - 5 = -2?

How do you verify the solution for P after solving the equation?

What is the solution for the equation y + 4 = -7, and how do you arrive at it?
