I have a test tmr and i genuinely didn’t get any of this from my 1 hour lecture from my teacher and you made me understand it in 4 minutes. Thanks!

[reesegunther]

Schools are shut down right now cause of quarantine and this SAVED me! Thank you sooo much keep up the amazing teaching!

[mckenziepratt]

I am back in college after being out of school for about 7 years. Let me just say your videos have SAVED me in school. I have been sharing your channel with peers and now after class, we all watch your videos to break down these re-introduced concepts. Thank you for making these videos!

I don't get it. It's a bit confusing..

[krishnannarayanan]

This helped so much! I was confused why we were multiplying the common denominator to the entire equation; The first time we multiply to get a common denominator accordingly, and multiply to the numerator, also. The second time we multiply the common denominator to the entire thing to cancel the denominators out. Thanks!

Mr. Mario, I'm in 10th grade and I've been pushing myself to learn all these for Algebra 2 and Pre calculus and I've been depressed over the course of a year because of how slow and ignoeant I've been in this topics.

Please keep making videos for everyone and add more explanation for those of youth and of edler youth.

I will keep pushijg no matter what gets in my way, whether that be having no friends for support, losing someone I love, failing over and over again (etc.)

Thank you.

today, algebra
tomorrow, the world

[freckies]

was struggling with this and helped explain it in such a simple way thank you

[pixelfox]

Why do you set the equation equal to zero?

[PrintPranav]

Why are you so much better than our teachers😭

[lemuelcastillano]

Hi! can i attach the youtube link of your video to the self-learning modules of out department in order for the students to learn more from the contents of this video aside from the modules that will be distributed to them? Thanks a lot.

This guy deserves a lot more subscribers

[evelyndollar]

These rationals equations have stumped me the most so far in Pre-Cal. Thanks!

[spooky_zn]

thank you very much, this video was perfect

[levireddell]

Can someone tell me where I went wrong

[lisamccray]

The concepts are basic, but clearer (somewhat slower) explanation would still be appreciated. I can't see the small writing. Remember, you are teaching this. So we don't "already know." But as for your sharing this information with us, I am so grateful.

[Rj-vrhw]

well the problem in the profile picture of the video is different from what you solved in the end.
