The video tutorial demonstrates how to solve a multi-step equation using an algebra model. It begins by simplifying each side of the equation through combining like terms. Next, it shows how to collect variables by removing equal numbers from both sides. The tutorial then explains isolating variables by adjusting constants and concludes with dividing both sides to find the solution for x, which is -3.
