Operations and Solving Equations

Mrs. D explains how to solve one-step equations using multiplication and division. The lesson covers identifying terms with variables, balancing equations by performing opposite operations, and isolating the variable to find its value. Practice problems are provided, and the reciprocal method is introduced for equations involving fractions. The video concludes with a recap of the steps and encourages students to review the material if needed.
