Solving Multi-Step Equations with One Variable

The video tutorial explains how to solve a multi-step equation, 2x + 5 = 17. It begins by identifying the variable term and isolating it by subtracting 5 from both sides. This simplifies the equation to 2x = 12. The next step involves solving for x by dividing both sides by 2, resulting in x = 6. Finally, the solution is verified by substituting x back into the original equation to ensure it holds true.
