Solving Multistep Equations with One Variable

The video tutorial covers solving multi-step equations, starting with a review of two-step equations. It explains the process of drawing a border, identifying variables and constants, and solving for the variable by moving constants and dividing. The tutorial progresses to multi-step equations, emphasizing combining like terms and using distribution. Each step is demonstrated with examples, ensuring students understand the transition from two-step to multi-step equations.

What is the first step in solving a two-step equation as discussed in the video?

• Draw a border and identify variables and constants

• Isolate the variable

• Combine like terms

• Distribute numbers across terms
