00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.600
Let's work through an equation, one step at a time.

00:00:03.600 --> 00:00:10.800
Open Math Steps, type two x plus five equals thirteen, and use
the plus button to create a problem session.

00:00:11.450 --> 00:00:14.858
Before asking for feedback, explain what you would do.

00:00:14.858 --> 00:00:17.509
Here, we subtract five from both sides.

00:00:17.509 --> 00:00:23.190
Writing the operation helps you see the reasoning, instead of
jumping straight to an answer.

00:00:23.840 --> 00:00:26.744
Choose Check with AI and read the feedback.

00:00:26.744 --> 00:00:30.373
When you're ready, use Add step to record your working.

00:00:30.373 --> 00:00:36.180
These are separate actions: one gives feedback, and the other
keeps the step in your solution.

00:00:36.830 --> 00:00:39.492
Next, divide both sides by two.

00:00:39.492 --> 00:00:41.710
That gives x equals four.

00:00:41.710 --> 00:00:47.477
Check it in the original equation: two times four, plus five,
equals thirteen.

00:00:47.477 --> 00:00:47.921
Nice.

00:00:47.921 --> 00:00:51.470
Now you have a solution you can explain.
