Using Bar Models to Solve Equations

This video tutorial teaches how to write and solve equations using a bar model. It begins with an introduction to variables, explaining how they represent unknown numbers. The lesson then sets up a problem involving the cost of a trip, which includes a concert ticket and two passes of equal cost. A bar model is used to visualize the problem, leading to the formation of an equation. The equation is then solved step-by-step to determine the cost of one pass, demonstrating the process of simplifying and solving equations.
