Solving a two step equation

The video tutorial explains solving equations using the reverse order of operations. It emphasizes undoing addition and subtraction first to isolate the variable. The process involves adding to both sides to counter subtraction and multiplying to counter division, ultimately solving for the variable. The solution is verified by substituting back into the equation.
