How to solve a multi step equation with a variable on both sides

👉 Learn how to solve multi-step equations with parenthesis and variable on both sides of the equation. An equation is a statement stating that two values are equal. A multi-step equation is an equation which can be solved by applying multiple steps of operations to get to the solution.
To solve a multi-step equation with parenthesis, we first use distribution property to remove the parenthesis, then we combine like terms by taking the variable terms to one side of the equality sign and the constant terms to the other side of the equation and evaluate them, and then we can isolate the variable by multiplying both sides by the reciprocal of the coefficient of the variable.

    always think of money. Plus or positive is money mom or dad is giving you and minus or negative is money taken away or money you owe. (so x=-50 would mean you owe $50 and x=50 could mean you got $50. Hope that helps.)

    Oh, multi-step equations with variables on both sides. Those were a huge pain in the ass for me when I first had to deal with them... mainly because I kept taking the harder route after combining like terms just to challenge myself, and I'd keep screwing up all the time when I first saw these equations.

    it is a little jarring to see it written this way, but I had the exact same writing just with the x part first. (so 3x-5 instead of -5+3x as an example. Which of course is the exact same thing, but when you aren't used to seeing written that way it's like "oh no I messed up" when in fact it is the same thing.) Any ways great job and I hope your students appreciate you as much as I appreciated this refresher. (Been 20 years since I did algebra and my son is about to start so wanted to refresh on it so I can help him) In another video of yours you said you don't like having a "negative x" (so -3x as an example). I am the exact same way (and for the same reason which you gave in the video). Long story short great work and just subscribed
