Solving an equation to put in slope intercept form

The video tutorial covers solving literal equations, starting with basic examples and progressing to more complex problems involving additional variables. It explains the use of subtraction, addition, multiplication, and division to isolate variables and solve equations. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of rearranging terms and understanding the properties of equality. It concludes with solving two-step literal equations, highlighting the need to perform operations in a specific order to simplify and solve the equations effectively.

What is the first step in solving the equation y + 3 = 12?

• Divide both sides by 3

• Multiply both sides by 3

• Subtract 3 from both sides

• Add 3 to both sides

When solving y + 3X = 12, what should you do with the 3X term?

• Add 3X to both sides

• Subtract 3X from both sides

• Multiply both sides by 3X

• Divide both sides by 3X

Why can't you combine terms like 12 - 3X?

• Because they are already simplified

• Because they are both variables

• Because they are both constants

• Because they are not like terms

What operation is used to isolate y in the equation 3y = 15?

• Division

• Subtraction

• Addition

• Multiplication

How do you simplify 15X divided by 3?

• 5X

• 3X

• 5

• 15

In the equation 7Y - 21X = 35, what is the first step to simplify it?

• Divide both sides by 7

• Multiply both sides by 7

• Subtract 21X from both sides

• Add 21X to both sides

What is the final simplified form of the equation 7Y = 21X + 35 after dividing by 7?

• Y = 21X + 5

• Y = 3X + 35

• Y = 21X + 35

• Y = 3X + 5
