Solving Linear Equations Concepts

In this tutorial, Mr. Masonette demonstrates how to solve equations with variables on both sides. He covers the distributive property, handling negative numbers, and identifying equations with no solution. The video includes four examples, each illustrating different aspects of solving equations. The tutorial concludes with a summary and encouragement to subscribe for more math tutorials.

What is the main focus of this tutorial?

• Solving equations with fractions

• Solving equations with variables on both sides

• Solving quadratic equations

• Solve for x

• Move all x terms to one side

How do you move a term from one side of the equation to the other?

• Add the term to both sides

• Divide the term on both sides

• Subtract the term from both sides

• Multiply the term on both sides
