When solving for the unknown, whether it is x, y, p, or z, knowing where the unknown is located and what “binds” it is important. It is crucial to determine if something has been added to or subtracted from it, or if it has been divided by something. All these questions are significant and should be addressed throughout the steps of the solution process.
As you can see in this video, the unknown "x" can be enclosed in brackets. To solve for "x", we need to take it out of the brackets using the appropriate algebraic strategy. Please let me know if you have any questions.
Please do not ignore any part of this video that you do not understand. I am here to help. Please let me know if I need to clarify anything.
Don’t worry; there will be a boot camp with a variety of factorization problems after we finish more methods of solving for x in the next course. So, hang tight!
I will see you in the next course where we will talk about more ways to solve for x. Please reach out if you have any questions.
