Understanding One-Step Linear Equations with Integers

The video tutorial explains how to solve one-step linear equations using integers. It covers two examples: one with a negative number and one with a positive number. The focus is on isolating the variable on the right side of the equation by performing opposite operations on both sides. The tutorial emphasizes that the side on which the variable is isolated does not matter, and it demonstrates the process of simplifying equations to find the solution.

What is the main focus of the video tutorial?

• Solving quadratic equations

• Solving one-step linear equations with integers

• Graphing linear equations

• Solving systems of equations

Where is the variable placed in the equations discussed in the video?

• On both sides

• On the left side

• In the middle

• On the right side

What operation is used to isolate x in the equation -7 = x - 4?

• Subtract 14 from both sides

• Add 14 to both sides

• Add 4 to both sides

• Subtract 4 from both sides

What is the solution to the equation -7 = x - 4?

• x = -3

• x = 11

• x = -11

• x = 7

What is the result of adding -7 and 14?

• 7

• 21

• -7

• -21

What is the initial equation in the second example?

• x + 5 = 23

• 23 = x + 5

• x - 5 = 23

• 23 = x - 5

What operation is used to isolate x in the equation 23 = x + 5?

• Subtract 5 from both sides

• Divide both sides by 5

• Multiply both sides by 5

• Add 5 to both sides

What is the solution to the equation 23 = x + 5?

• x = 5

• x = 13

• x = 28

• x = 18

What is the opposite operation of adding 5?

• Multiplying by 5

• Adding 10

• Dividing by 5

• Subtracting 5

Why is it important to perform the same operation on both sides of an equation?

• To keep the equation balanced

• To make the equation more complex

• To change the solution

• To eliminate the variable
