Solving Equations with the Distributive Property and Like Terms

The video tutorial explains how to solve equations by applying the distributive property and combining like terms. It demonstrates distributing a negative number across terms in parentheses, simplifying the equation by combining like terms, and solving a two-step equation by handling addition and multiplication. The solution to the equation is found by isolating the variable.
