all I did tonight was watch your videos. THANK YOU SO MUCH. THIS SAVED MY LIFE! I missed one class and now im so behind and this really did help me understand the whole concept.

Ms. Kopf, I want to congratulate on your math videos.  Your pedagogy is excellent.  They certainly assist the advanced algebra student I am tutoring.  Keep up the good work.

Really appreciate it. I've been up all night guessing at these.

(1/x)=(1/8)-(3/5) LCD: 40x
40x(1/x)=40x(1/8)-40x(3/5)
40=5x-24x
40=-19x
x=-40/19 solution

[(x-7)/(x+2)]=(1/4)
4(x-7)=x+2
4x-28=x+2
4x-x=28+2
3x=30
x=10 solution
