Algebra: Solving Linear Equations - Part 1: The Basics
[NOTE: This video is only the first 18 minutes of the full lesson, please visit my website to purchase complete version] Lesson consists of providing you with a Self-Tutorial on how to solve linear equations. Tutor discusses what is an Equation, Solution, Solution Set, Equivalent Equations, Identity, Contradictions, Conditional Equations, Linear Equations, the Standard Form of a Linear Equation. I show you how to actually SOLVE linear equations going step-by-step. I don’t skip steps. I review some of the properties of Equality here too. I remind you to check the work done and how to solve linear equations using a calculator. At the end, you will know how to easily solve equations that look like:
2[y - (4y - 1)] = 5 - 9y
No word problems are done here. This is shown in DETAIL in Part 2 of the Lesson.

The last step …
The last step should be divide both sides by 2, not 6. You are anticipating the answer, and that is not allowed. You want to solve it in a way that is systematic and works for all numbers. For example, if the final step were 1.34x = 15.87, then it is not obvious what you need to divide 15.87 by to get 1.34.

this is the way i …
this is the way i would do it.
2x-3=9
take the -3 over the = sign so it becomes a +3 so now u have.
2x=9+3
then add 3 and 9.
2x=12
then divide 12 by 6 wich is 2 so u know 6 is a correct solution.

Okay, I need help….how would you solve 3y + y = - 8 (I know the answer is 2 because 3(2) = 6 + 2 = - 8. I have some longer problems like 28 - a + 4a = 7. Do you have videos that show these?
