    As someone who really just needs refreshers on well.... everything, your videos are perfect. You give us what we need to prep and remember the important things while not filling our heads and time with unnecessary or complicated information.
    You have saved me from many a breakdown. Thank you.
    I know there were a lot of these comments on your last video but I wanted to say that I too would really like an inequalities video. Thats one of the few subjects I feel I have never learned before so its a bit overwhelming.

    I need help on this question :
    In four years Phil will be half Tim’s Age . Two years ago, Tim was five times Phil Age. How old is Phil now?
    I know how to set up the equations but don’t know how to solve them ...
    T+4= 2(P+4)
    T-2= 5(P-2)

    • @TheTestedTutor
      @TheTestedTutor  4 роки тому

      See my simultaneous equations video. But the short answer is you could subtract those two equations to eliminate T. Giving 6 = 2(P + 4) - 5(P - 2)

    • @ramkrishnasharma7080
      @ramkrishnasharma7080 4 роки тому

      Simply you can find P by using the value of T from first equation. i.e. (T= 2p+4). When T= 2p+4, then 2P+4-2=5p-10, i.e. P = 4. Now use that 4 in first equation you will get 12.
