Solving One-Step Equations Intro
In this lesson, the instructor introduces solving one-step equations and emphasizes the importance of understanding what an equation is rooted around. They explain that one side of the equation must be equal to the other side and demonstrate how to find a value for a variable that makes the equation true. The instructor also teaches a process for isolating the variable and getting it to have a coefficient of one, using properties of equality like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. Examples are given to help students understand how to solve for the variable and check their answers.
Introduction Into Solving One Step Equations
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.

Staff Review
This video serves as a good introduction to working with equations, and finding the value of a variable, X. In this video, only one operation is used in the equation, so solving is rather simple. The solutions for a number of diverse practice problems are explained.
