Solving Equations in One Variable Using Multiplicative Inverses

This video tutorial teaches how to solve equations in one variable using multiplicative inverses. It begins with an introduction to the multiplication property of equality, explaining that multiplying both sides of an equation by the same number maintains equivalency. The concept of multiplicative inverses is introduced, which involves multiplying a number by its inverse to get one. The tutorial provides examples, such as solving 5X = 30 and X/3 = 5, demonstrating the application of these concepts to isolate variables and solve equations.
