How to Write an Equation

The video tutorial explains how to solve a standardized math test question by forming and solving an equation. The problem involves calculating the number of times Ling shoveled his neighbor's driveway, given he earns $12 each time and made a total of $108. The tutorial guides viewers through identifying key information, forming the equation 12W = 108, and solving for W to find the answer.
