Wow, five minutes in and I'm understanding this in aspects I didn't think I could. There was something about the way my teacher worded these concepts that I simply couldn't grasp - but you've made it so easy. I'm so happy.
FBT and Mr. Witt is awesome!!! I am 45 and starting life over, while back in college. I have not practiced math(College Algebra) in 25 yrs. I spent a lot of time trying to figure out my professors teachings with UA-cam searches(zombies). I just found you- with finals coming up. I learned everything in 3 days watching you, than in 4 months of listening to him and I enjoy it!!! Get those arrows poppin'!!! Thank You, old dog, learning new tricks.
My brain just had a mental workout. I paused the video and worked something's out on my own to see if I could achieve it as he went from step to step. I definitely received a well needed lesson for a test I'm preparing for. Thanks Mr. Whitt 👍
Question in 5:42 ho did u get 40/5 ? I got confused Is it like u multiplied 2 (-8/5) + 8 I get the -16/5 but for the 40/5 did u multiply 5 and 8 then put the same denominator?
Thank you very much mister whitt! With this I can surprise my parents with a high score for my quiz in this subject especially since math is a hard subject for me ✨
Hello MsDera426! I rewrote 8 as 8/1, then multiplied the numerator and denominator by 5 to get an equivalent fraction 40/5. This was all done to get fractions with the same denominator so that I could add them. ua-cam.com/video/ZhKAXZU0tyQ/v-deo.html
@@FortBendTutoring Thanks. I was trying to figure it out by myself but was at work. And thanks for the link to your other video. I need a refresher on some of the basic math. Your videos are extremely helpful because you explain what you are doing and why. I believe that with the help of GOD and your videos, I will pass my college algebra class. Thank you so much.
wow I so needed this video, have a test coming monday on subsitution method and elimination, If you haven't already will you be doing one for the elimination method also. thanks.
ESPSydney Bryant 40/5 is an equivalent fraction for 8. We took 8/1 and multiplied the numerator and denominator by 5 (in other words, multiplied by 1 using the form 5/5).
Hello Odell! The 5y is the sum of 4y and y. When combining like terms, you add the coefficients of the terms. In this case you’re adding the 4 in 4y and the 1 in 1y.
8:46 We will also need infinitely many solutions for our answer to check if we got the answer correct or not, like when we are converting from one form to another. If we have one solution or no solution, then we made some mistake that has to be fixed. Otherwise, if we have infinitely many solutions to the system, then we are AOK.
I think what you are doing is great. the way you explains things in the sense that it is absolute helps me understand and accept what is being taught. Any chance you could allow a pause or prompt on maybe the third or fourth problem to allow time for someone to try the problem out? Or designate a problem for us to work out? thanks Mr. Whitt!!
Great suggestion! I'll consider it. In the meantime, if the next problem looks similar press pause and try to solve it or do a similar odd problem in your textbook. Most likely you'll find the odd answers in the back of your text. Thanks for the feedback!
Can anyone explain to me why at 12:37, he chose the second equation to solve for x? i just need to know what the secret is to being able to tell which equation is easier to solve for.
+MsDera426 In that instance, there wasn't an "easiest" variable to solve for. Just know that some choose based on the number of steps and others choose a variable to solve for based on how small the coefficient is. It's a personal choice and "easy" is relative to each individual's belief as to what "easy" is. You'll know which variable is easiest for you with experience. Until then any variable you isolate will help solve the problem. In the meantime, you can use this as a guide as to which variable to pick.
Hello Mr. Whitt! I’m just curious, For multiplying decimals and subtracting. On problem 6 towards the end, How did you get 1.6? Did you multiply the 2 by the 8 but brought down the decimal to separate them and how did you get .4 from 1.6-2 wouldnt it just be 1.4?

Hello Joshua. -1.6 is equal to -8/5. It’s the same value written differently.
Thank you, Mr. Whitt!! Your explanations are the best on the internet. I may just pass this math class after all.

Thanks! Not yet, but I'll add it 2 my list!
love you guys

Do you have to get rid of the fractions or can you just solve the equation with them
You can solve the problem with the fractions. Clearing the fractions first is just a personal preference of mine. Thanks 4 the inquiry!

I multiplied -2 times -0.8 to get 1.6. I believe you may have missed the -0.8 because it’s written as (-.8).

why do you solve for x sometimes and y sometimes?
I pick the “easiest”variable to solve for. Sometimes it’s an x, other times it’s a y. The choice is arbitrary.
Does slope intercept work also?

where did that 2y come from once the 2y had been canceled out? this is simple... I think
