How to Solve One Variable Equations Step by Step – Master Linear Equations in Minutes!

Learn how to solve one-variable equations step-by-step in this clear and concise math tutorial. We walk through a range of problems—from simple one-step equations like x + 5 = 12 to more complex equations that involve distribution, variables on both sides, real-world applications, and literal equations. This video is ideal for middle school and early high school students, teachers, and anyone reviewing basic algebra concepts.

This lesson supports Common Core Standard CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.7.EE.B.4, which emphasizes using variables to represent real-world problems and solving linear equations to find solutions.
