Solving Multi-Step Equations Using the Distributive Property

The video tutorial explains how to solve multi-step equations using the distributive property. It begins with a review of inverse operations and the goal of isolating the variable. The distributive property is reviewed with examples, followed by two methods for solving equations: distributing first and dividing first. The tutorial concludes with an example problem, demonstrating the application of these methods.
