Understanding Number Line and Arithmetic Operations

The video tutorial explains how to solve the equation 'blank + 261 = 630' using two methods. The first method involves visualizing the problem on a number line and using subtraction to find the missing number. The second method rearranges the equation to use addition, demonstrating how to reach the solution by adding numbers that are easy to compute. Both methods lead to the same result, showing different ways to approach the problem.
