Factoring and Solving Equations

The video tutorial explains how to solve the equation 18 - 6B = 30 using two methods. The first method involves factoring out the common factor of six to find the value of 3 - B. The second method involves solving for B by isolating it and then evaluating 3 - B. Both methods lead to the same result, demonstrating different approaches to solving the problem.

What is the initial equation presented in the problem?

• 18 + 6B = 0

• 18 - 6B = 30

• 18 + 6B = 30

• 18 - 6B = 0

In the first method, what common factor is factored out from the left side of the equation?

• 3

• 6

• 18

• B

After factoring out the common factor, what is the resulting equation for 3 - B?

• 3 - B = 6

• 3 - B = 5

• 3 - B = 4

• 3 - B = 3

In the second method, what is the value of B after solving the equation?

• B = 2

• B = -2

• B = 0

• B = 1

Using the second method, what is the final value of 3 - B?

• 4

• 3

• 5

• 6
