Solve a multi step equation with two variables and distributive property ex 19, –7=3(t–5)–t

The video tutorial explains how to solve a multi-step equation for the variable T. It begins by introducing the problem and emphasizes the importance of removing parentheses using the distributive property. The tutorial then demonstrates how to combine like terms to simplify the equation. Once simplified, the instructor shows how to solve the two-step equation using inverse operations, ultimately finding the value of T. The video concludes with a summary of the steps taken to solve the equation.
