we have the equation seven times x is equal to fourteen. - Now
before even trying to solve this equation, - what I want to do
is think a little bit about what this actually means. - Seven x
equals fourteen, - this is the exact same thing as saying seven
times x, let me write it this way, seven times x, x in orange
again. Seven times x is equal to fourteen. - Now you might be
able to do this in your head. - You could literally go through
the 7 times table. - You say well 7 times 1 is equal to 7, so
that won't work. - 7 times 2 is equal to 14, so 2 works here. -
So you would immediately be able to solve it. - You would
immediately, just by trying different numbers - out, say hey,
that's going to be a 2. - But what we're going to do in this
video is to think ab
