Solving a multi-step equation with fractions and variable on both sides

👉 Learn how to solve multi-step equations with 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, we first 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, then we can isolate the variable by multiplying both sides by the reciprocal of the coefficient of the variable.

    I agree. I have a really hard time paying attention because I get distracted really easily and space out a lot even though I do actually want to do well. So these videos really help me. I always come back to them when I'm struggling. Towards the end of 10th grade I was having a lot of stress but his video just opened my eyes.

    I'm currently taking MTH 082 at community college and it's completely online. The program our teacher uses doesn't explain steps AT ALL and it's impossible to grasp concepts. You just helped me grasp a concept I've been struggling with for hours. Thank you so much! I can't stand being taught math online while listening to a robotic voice demonstrate problems using extremely technical terms that they haven't given a definition for. Your channel is a lifesaver right now!
