Solving Two-Step Equations

In this video, Teacher G explains how to solve two-step equations by eliminating constants and coefficients. The video covers three examples: solving 2x + 5 = 21, 3B - 4 = 11, and -3x - 8 = 40. Each example is solved step-by-step, demonstrating the use of inverse operations to isolate the variable. The video concludes with a practice problem for viewers to try on their own.
