This lesson is part of the following series:

Basic Beginning Algebra and Geometry Series (30 lessons, $24.75)
Algebra Help For Real Beginners (14 lessons, $16.83)

Once you have learned the basic of the language of Algebra you will quickly start solving equations. The first equations you will solve are linear equations. This video breaks down the process of solving linear equations into easy-to-follow steps.

The equations on this video are all one step equations. The examples show you how to use the inverse operation to get the variable by itself. The goal is always to get the variable on a side by itself.

As you move into any advanced math class you will always need to solve equations. This video is paced slowly to provide the first important steps for the foundation you will need. Stay tuned for more videos on solving equations.

Work along with me and use all the downloadable practice.

Welcome! I'm so glad you are here! Math help is here for you.

I believe that using these Algebra and Geometry videos will help you understand math.

Some students try very hard and still struggle to pass math. They start off strong but things suddenly begin to fall apart. That happens as soon as the student becomes lost. Teenagers who find themselves in this position often let it "get away from them" before they seek help. Because Algebra is a class of stepping stones, it rarely gets better without help.

I urge you to seek help from your child's teacher first. Always. These Algebra and Geometry videos can help too. You can watch the topic you need over and over. Repetition is...
