Solving a two step equation by applying the reverse order of operations

The video tutorial focuses on the concept of undoing operations in equations, emphasizing the importance of reversing the order of operations. It explains how to handle negative signs in division and provides an example to illustrate this. The tutorial then guides viewers through solving multi-step equations by applying the reverse order of operations, specifically addressing addition and subtraction. The session concludes with a brief mention of moving on to new material.
