Algebra Word Problem with JusticeTheTutor | Integers, Addition, Subtraction #shorts #math #school

Faster without algebra, but I appreciate the clear steps.

The last digit is 3. 0, 1, 2 are the only 3 consecutive intergers that add up to 3. Therefore you know the answer is going to end in 0.

[kevinarnold]

Divide 303 by 3 to get the middle digit of the sequence. Then subtract 1 to get the lower digit.

[jackionendino]

Yeyyyy Got it within secs. Thankyou so much sir, thats some nice refreshers do more prac questions😍

[wokeil]

This really helps me understand the mindset in math. Anything can be solved with the right tools. I always sucked at math but find it weirdly soothing how everything just locks into place

[JS-nubt]

Honestly you explain this so much clearer than my teachers ever did. You sir are awesome.

[TurkishKS]

That's a lot of unnecessary work. How about this?

303 ÷ 3 = 101

You've got three 101s that add up to 303.
The middle 101 is the middle consecutive number. Subtract 1 from the first 101 to get the smallest consecutive number, 100. That 1 you subtracted must go somewhere so that you still have 303. Add it to the last 101 to get the largest consecutive number 102.

101 + 101 + 101 = 303
(101 -1) + 101 + (101 +1) = 303
100 + 101 + 102 = 303

This works 100% of the time when the question asks for 3 consecutive numbers adding up to a total. The total divided by 3 is the middle number, subtract 1 for the smallest, add 1 for the largest.

Or, you look at the suggested options, giggle at the "69" and "420" references, and realize that the two subsequent integers have to give the ending "3". Therefore 1+2 as in 100+101+102 is the only viable option.

[tannerdavis]

Gotta be 69, 420 (I love that you add that in ever question, lease make it the answer one day 🤣)

[tom_something]

I reasoned that the middle integer would be one third of the total and then subtracted one from that.

[renusri]

Since they are consecutive, starting with (X-1) as the first number would be so much easier

[rwansays]

I’ve finished my bachelor degree and never considered taking a private math class. Your brilliant way of explaining and teaching would’ve convinced me into joining some classes😍😍

[ThatPsychicGirlVeronica]

Finally. A channel that makes sense. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[antoniopetisce]

It's great to see these types of shorts. Keep them coming and maybe they will catch on and become even bigger than a Karen meltdown!

[drewgwins]

You can also use x-1, x, and x+1. Just don't forget to plug back in to find smallest integer.

[JoniSare]

I wish you were my math teacher way back when! You make it make sense!

[shogrran]

although the solution was fun to see. id have just looked at the choices and imagined adding one and two to them to see if theyll sum up to 303. quicker by a few seconds

[JJ_TheGreat]

100:
Sum: 303 / 3 = 101 = The middle (2nd) of the three (3) consecutive integers - Therefore, for the 1st/smallest - you subtract 1; therefore 101-1=100.
Done!

[arthurbraden]

... benefit of watching his work for this stream is recognition for how to work with consecutive values in an algebraic problem.

[BelemaSotonye-Frank]

• Divide 303 by 3 (because it's 3 integers) which equals 101.
• Assume all 3 integers are 101 lined up like 101, 101, 101
• Take 1 away from the one to the left and add it to the one on the right
• You now have 3 consecutive numbers that add up to 303 (100, 101, 102)
•Lowest number is 100
I hope this makes sense!
