Solving Equations and Volume Problems

The video tutorial covers solving linear equations with variables on both sides. It begins with an introduction to the concept, followed by detailed steps for solving such equations. The tutorial includes several example problems to illustrate the process. It also discusses special solutions like identities and no solutions. Finally, it applies the concepts to a real-life problem involving the surface area and volume of a rectangular prism.

What is the first step in solving an equation with variables on both sides?

• Simplify one or both sides of the equation

• Check your solution
