yo I wish this guy was my teacher he really makes the steps really simple hey @James Neal can you send me more problems like this so I can continue to study please?
Hi there! That is a -1 they just leave off the 1. so consider it like 7 + (-1)(5t -13). You multiple the -1 by the parenthesis and then add the 7 after! :)
Thanks! Question for you if you see this.. I am thinking of taking my channel up a notch now that I am out of the classroom and doing instructional design at the college level. Would you utilize practice problems that could give students feedback online? Basically to check their understanding immediately and provide extra practice. Results would only go to them but they could show you as part of the recap. Or perhaps a interactive practice that goes along with the video lesson?
Awesome! You got this Leslie! Show the test what’s up and drop a flying elbow on it! :) Just remember to ALWAYS get rid of the smaller x. Seriously I don’t get why teachers don’t all teach it this way. I have confidence in you! Please let me know how it goes! And if at the end you feel like you did great then celebrate how awesome YOU did!
Thank you!!! I never understood how to do this when I was in school. This helped me be able to help my son. Btw what level is this? My son is in 7th grade and this seems really hard for that age.
Hi Monica. I assumed you mean when to do each in order? Think of an equation solving as “undoing” the equation. We start with subtraction/addition if there is +\- signs. Remember you are doing the opposite of the signs on the equation. So to solve if + then you subtract and vice versus. Then you proceed to multiplication or division (again the opposite of what is already happening. 3x means 3 • x so dividing makes sense. X/5 means x divided by 5, so multiplication makes sense. This is how you solve a 2 step equation where you have a variable with a number in front and then another number added or subtracted, such as 3x - 6 = 12. If there is anything else going on, you have to deal with thus first. The goal is to simplify until you have a 2 step equation. This might be distributive property such as 3(2x - 5) = 33. The parenthesis and number outside is the clue to do the extra simplifying. It could also be a need to combine like interns before solving such as 2x + 5 + 6x = 13. Notice we have an extra x compared to the desired 2 step equation. The plus signs in between mean adding first is the trick. It could also be a combination of these. Do the parenthesis first and then combine. You also will sometimes see the variable on both sides of the =, which again doesn’t fit that 2 step equation such as 2x - 7 = 5x + 5. Notice there is an x in both sides. You would need to eliminate one of them to get to the place to solve. This is shown in another video. So basically you have to learn to read the situation. Look for anything you can do starting with distributive property and then combining and if done correctly you should be ready for a simple 2 step equation.

+Levin Tiwnsen We would start with the distributive property on the left side.... 2(n - 3) = 2(n) - 2(3) = 2n - 6 then replace on the equation. 2n - 6 = 4n + 1 From here we need all the n's on one side and all the numbers on the other side. Couple ways to do this but I find most people like to avoid multiplying and dividing by a negative. So the trick is always start by eliminating the lower variable. 2n and 4n so this means subtract 2n from both sides. 2n - 6 = 4n + 1 -2n -2n -6 = 2n + 1 Now we need to get the n by itself. First we subtract 1 - 1 - 1 -7 = 2n and then we divide by 2 ÷2 ÷2 -7/2 = n Just so you know, I have videos for solving with variables on both sides and also ones for the distributive property. Check them out! Good luck!
Hi! Hard to know exactly what you did wrong, but I am assuming you ended up with one of these two in one of your steps. -2x = 14 or 2x = -14 In either case, notice that you have -12x and 10x so the larger is the negative and must have -2x be left. Also notice that you have -25 on the right side so when you add the left side which is smaller it must also stay negative, -14. So combining both facts you have -2x = -14 which gives the answer 7. I guess I can’t be certain I am right so feel free to add more detail, but my guess is that will find your error.
Hey Cristian! So when you add the 10 to both side I imagine that the problem you have is with what to do with this -25 + 10 That sounds about right? When adding and subtracting negative and positive numbers remember that a pair of one negative and one positive makes 0 together. So that is - + makes zero. So a problem like -9 + 5 can be represented by - - - - - - - - - +++++ If you pair up one negative and one positive repeatedly you will see that you get five 0s from pairs and what is left is four minus signs. This is then -4 and that is your answer! For this problem, you would get 25 - and 10 +. So you end up with 15 leftover negative signs and the answer is -15. Hope this helps! Not the easiest to type these answers but I did my best! :)

because of this video, I can't browse the internet but i learned a lot
Finally understand multi-step equations
So if I had a problem of
7-(5t-13)=25
What would I do with the "-" sign after the 7???

Thank you alot james you helped I wish that you were my teacher
The first few steps in the multi step confuses me a lot!???
That's depend on multiplying algebraic expressions
If u understand that
How would I solve this:
0.1q-0.2(3q+4)=-0.3(5q+3) please help
go to thattutorguy.com! he's amazing!!!
0.1q + -0.2(3q + 4) = -0.3(5q + 3)
Reorder the terms:
0.1q + -0.2(4 + 3q) = -0.3(5q + 3)
0.1q + (4 * -0.2 + 3q * -0.2) = -0.3(5q + 3)
0.1q + (-0.8 + -0.6q) = -0.3(5q + 3)
Reorder the terms:
-0.8 + 0.1q + -0.6q = -0.3(5q + 3)
Combine like terms: 0.1q + -0.6q = -0.5q
-0.8 + -0.5q = -0.3(5q + 3)
Reorder the terms:
-0.8 + -0.5q = -0.3(3 + 5q)
-0.8 + -0.5q = (3 * -0.3 + 5q * -0.3)
-0.8 + -0.5q = (-0.9 + -1.5q)
Solving
-0.8 + -0.5q = -0.9 + -1.5q
Solving for variable 'q'.
Move all terms containing q to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '1.5q' to each side of the equation.
-0.8 + -0.5q + 1.5q = -0.9 + -1.5q + 1.5q
Combine like terms: -0.5q + 1.5q = 1q
-0.8 + 1q = -0.9 + -1.5q + 1.5q
Combine like terms: -1.5q + 1.5q = 0.0
-0.8 + 1q = -0.9 + 0.0
-0.8 + 1q = -0.9
Add '0.8' to each side of the equation.
-0.8 + 0.8 + 1q = -0.9 + 0.8
Combine like terms: -0.8 + 0.8 = 0.0
0.0 + 1q = -0.9 + 0.8
1q = -0.9 + 0.8
Combine like terms: -0.9 + 0.8 = -0.1
1q = -0.1
Divide each side by '1'.
q = -0.1
Simplifying
q = -0.1
I hope this helped u:)

how would I Solve this equation 2(n-3)=4n+1
+Levin Tiwnsen
We would start with the distributive property on the left side....
2(n - 3) = 2(n) - 2(3) = 2n - 6 then replace on the equation.
2n - 6 = 4n + 1 From here we need all the n's on one side and all the numbers on the other side. Couple ways to do this but I find most people like to avoid multiplying and dividing by a negative. So the trick is always start by eliminating the lower variable. 2n and 4n so this means subtract 2n from both sides.
2n - 6 = 4n + 1
-2n -2n
-6 = 2n + 1 Now we need to get the n by itself. First we subtract 1
- 1 - 1
-7 = 2n and then we divide by 2
÷2 ÷2
-7/2 = n
Just so you know, I have videos for solving with variables on both sides and also ones for the distributive property. Check them out! Good luck!
2(n + -3) = 4n + 1
Reorder the terms:
2(-3 + n) = 4n + 1
(-3 * 2 + n * 2) = 4n + 1
(-6 + 2n) = 4n + 1
Reorder the terms:
-6 + 2n = 1 + 4n
Solving
-6 + 2n = 1 + 4n
Solving for variable 'n'.
Move all terms containing n to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-4n' to each side of the equation.
-6 + 2n + -4n = 1 + 4n + -4n
Combine like terms: 2n + -4n = -2n
-6 + -2n = 1 + 4n + -4n
Combine like terms: 4n + -4n = 0
-6 + -2n = 1 + 0
-6 + -2n = 1
Add '6' to each side of the equation.
-6 + 6 + -2n = 1 + 6
Combine like terms: -6 + 6 = 0
0 + -2n = 1 + 6
-2n = 1 + 6
Combine like terms: 1 + 6 = 7
-2n = 7
Divide each side by '-2'.
n = -3.5
Simplifying
n = -3.5

How would u solve a question like this n - 10 = -25
Hey Cristian!
So when you add the 10 to both side I imagine that the problem you have is with what to do with this
-25 + 10 That sounds about right?
When adding and subtracting negative and positive numbers remember that a pair of one negative and one positive makes 0 together.
So that is - + makes zero. So a problem like
-9 + 5 can be represented by
- - - - - - - - -
+++++
If you pair up one negative and one positive repeatedly you will see that you get five 0s from pairs and what is left is four minus signs. This is then -4 and that is your answer!
For this problem, you would get 25 - and 10 +. So you end up with 15 leftover negative signs and the answer is -15.
