MATHS - Algebra - Solving Equations by Inspection

The video tutorial introduces solving equations by inspection, a method where one identifies the missing number to make both sides of an equation equal. It begins with a recap of what equations are and why they are solved. The tutorial provides simple examples, such as finding the missing number in equations like 'something plus 3 equals 5'. It progresses to slightly trickier questions, encouraging viewers to pause and solve them independently. The video concludes with a summary of the method and additional practice questions.

What is the value of x if '4 times x equals 12'?

How can we find the missing number in the equation 'Something minus 1 equals 5'?
