Rearranging your terms to solve a one step equation

The video tutorial focuses on solving a one-step equation by isolating the variable. The teacher guides students through understanding the operations applied to the variable, specifically addressing the confusion between addition and subtraction. By rewriting the equation, the teacher clarifies that the variable is being subtracted, and demonstrates using the addition property of equality to solve for the variable, resulting in the solution y = 27.
