In this video, we are going to learn how to solve linear equations with variables on both sides of the equal sign, using the distributive property, adding like terms, moving the variables over and then adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing
We will go over the steps, in order, of how to solve these multi step equations
We explain use the distributive property, adding like terms, moving one term over, and solving the new two step equation
We practice solving a few ugly equations
We teach how we can check our answer by plugging our found value back into the equation
We go through another example that includes fractions
We solve all examples using preferred algebra methods
