Solving algebraic fractions easily - GCSE A* and AS Maths Revision

Maths revision video to help with solving equations which contain algebraic fractions.

your a legend, i was struggling with algebraic fractions and my tutor was being of no use. This really helped me nail it Ta.

Hope the following helps...
The two expressions in the brackets need to be added together - we need to collect together like terms.
x terms: 5x+6x=+11x
xsquared terms: The 3xsquared has no other x squared term to be added to so stays as 3xsquared
number terms: the -20 term has no other 'number term' to be added to so stays as -20.
Altogether then this therefore becomes 11x+3xsquared-20 or 3xsquared+11x-20

Thank very much this really easy to solve algebra and fraction

just a bit of help if it doesn't seem right just substitute the answer back into the equation and if it works out right then its right :)

[MathslearnCoUkvideos]

if 8x+28=0
then 8x=-28
So x=-28/8=-3.5
So yes, you are correct

[DoofieRufie]

maths exam in an hour, thanks for the help :)

[robfifa]

You could have changed my grade! In fact, a lot of people's grades! Thank you! :)

[Rapidkid]

Its like all the good teachers are on youtube...

[ChrisCaswell]

thanks so much, really annoyed I didn't find videos like this a lot earlier before my exam!

he forgot about the 'L' (last(as in last 2 terms in each bracket)) in the foil, there should also be a +4x with that bracket on the right

In your equation the original question added up to 2. What if it added to 0 when working it out using your method would everything to the left add up to 0 when you expand the brackets?
