Solving One Step Equation with Division
In this lesson, the speaker explains how to solve one-step equations using division. They emphasize the importance of understanding the properties of equality and using inverse operations to isolate the variable being solved for. The example given is a negative 13 times a number equals negative 39, and the speaker walks through dividing by negative 13 to get the variable by itself. The lesson ends with the reminder to always consider what is happening to the variable and use the opposite or inverse operation to cancel it out.
Solving a one step equation using division
I show how to solve math problems online during live instruction in class. This is my way of providing free tutoring for the students in my class and for students anywhere in the world. Every video is a short clip that shows exactly how to solve math problems step by step. The problems are done in real time and in front of a regular classroom. These videos are intended to help you learn how to solve math problems, review how to solve a math problems, study for a test, or finish your homework. I post all of my videos on YouTube, but if you are looking for other ways to interact with me and my videos you can follow me on the following pages through My Blog, Twitter, or Facebook.
