10 years later and you’re still coming in clutch

I'm not sure which example you are referring to, but I did annotate a correct on the last example. I also linked to a newer edition of the video and some additional examples.

Yes, I am not an expert about Math but I noticed the mistake in exercise number 4 .
We are humans and make mistakes.But I am very grateful for your explanation. I think I have to have a clear understanding about fractions. Thank you again

I LOVE YOU SO MUCH! I used the method you talked about on the 2nd equation on here for another equation I had to solve and I GOT THE ANSWER Right! I GOT THE ANSWER RIGHT! Where Aleks failed you succeeded! :)

This was so helpful for me, brought my grade up cause now I understand. You sir, have just earned a subscriber.

i need help in number 4. The -43/15 is 46/15 or not? thank you

[maxtitus]

My high school teacher basically said you know that thing you learned two years ago, your going to have a fucking test on it tomorrow. Thanks dude I think I keep that a gpa up.

[Mathispoweru]

Yes, I annotated the correction earlier, but I decided to edit out the last example. I will record some additional examples soon. Thank you for the notification.

ok i want this guy as my new algebra teacher

[dsakjet]

Im really smart in algebra already and i know things like partial fraction decomposition and how to solve quadratics, but i didnt know shit whenit came to linear equations because i never took the time out of my day to go over them.Thanks, man.

8:50 shouldn't he get -46/15 instead he got -43/15 by multiplying -2/1 . 23/15.

[MrPenguyen]

to those of you who don't understand the steps, here they are:
1. Do the opposite action of the number with no variable (ex. if its plus 3 fourths, subtract)
*to add the fractions at the end, find a common denominator!
2. Now multiply both sides by the reciprocal of the remaining number.
3. (Opt.) if it's an improper fraction, simplify.

Thanks alot. This really helped me out. You have a great way of teaching and easy to understand. ...

[tookmo]

the way you did the problem straight across is kind of confusing but this video is helpful :)

[natalie]

I get it, but what if you have two variables in the expression?

[Mathispoweru]

Since the least common multiple of 4, 6, and 5 is 60, multiple each fraction by 30 to clear the fractions. Then solve for x.

[TheSteelDialga]

Are there videos that have the variable on the top part of the fraction that are being solved

[userpanda]

omg the 2x+2/3=4/5 was the exact question i was stuck on my homework! it's the reason why i came here XD thanx

[TheMcginty]

You are the best, please don't listen to negatives

[fabxxkandii]

confused me more than I already was. I hate math.
