GCSE Secondary Maths Age 13-17 - Algebra: Algebra - Explained

The video tutorial explains how to solve the algebraic equation 4X + 5 = X + 26. It begins by introducing the equation and the concept of balancing both sides. The teacher demonstrates how to simplify the equation by removing X from both sides, resulting in 3X + 5 = 26. Further simplification leads to 3X = 21, and the value of X is found to be 7 by dividing both sides by 3. The tutorial concludes with a discussion on the marks awarded for solving the equation and emphasizes the importance of understanding linear equations.
