Solving One-Step Equations

This video tutorial explains how to solve one-step equations using multiplication and division. It begins with interpreting equations in words and then demonstrates solving them mathematically using opposite operations. Two examples are provided: solving 6g = 48 and c/8 = 9, emphasizing the importance of performing the same operation on both sides of the equation to maintain balance.

What is the main focus of this video tutorial?

• Understanding one-step equations using multiplication and division

• Exploring complex numbers

• Solving quadratic equations

• Learning about algebraic expressions

In the equation 6g = 48, what operation is implied between 6 and g?

• Subtraction
