How do you solve a multi step equation with a variable on the same side

The video tutorial explains how to solve multi-step equations by simplifying them into two-step equations. It emphasizes the importance of simplification, including combining like terms and applying the distributive property. Once simplified, the tutorial guides on solving two-step equations using reverse and inverse operations, focusing on undoing addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. The key challenge is the extra work required to simplify before reaching the two-step stage.
