This document uses the analogy of unwrapping a present to explain how to solve equations. It states that solving an equation involves undoing the operations in reverse order, similar to unwrapping a present by first removing the bow, then unwrapping the paper, and finally taking out the present. It provides an example of solving a two-step equation by first adding 16 to both sides to undo the subtraction, and then dividing both sides by 4 to undo the multiplication. The document aims to explain solving equations by relating it to the intuitive steps of unwrapping a present.
