How to solve a multi step problem with distributive property on both sides

The video tutorial explains how to solve a multi-step equation by following a series of steps. It begins with simplifying the equation using the distributive property, then moves on to combining like terms. The next step involves getting all variables on one side of the equation while ensuring they remain positive. The tutorial then covers undoing addition and subtraction to isolate the variable, followed by undoing multiplication to find the solution. Each step is clearly explained to help students understand the process of solving multi-step equations.
