Variables in Equations

The video tutorial explains the use of formulas and variables in solving equations, particularly focusing on calculating distance using the formula 'distance equals rate multiplied by time'. It demonstrates how to substitute values into formulas and solve for unknowns using examples. The tutorial also covers how to record values in tables, identify patterns, and graph data on a coordinate plane to visualize relationships between variables.

What are variables in a formula and why are they important?

Explain how to calculate distance using the formula provided in the text.

Describe the relationship between rate, time, and distance as mentioned in the text.

How can you visually represent the data from the table on a graph?

What patterns can be observed when plotting the points on the graph?
