This looks so simple when you watch Brandon do it, but when I see one without his video I freeze up! Gosh I really need to get this! He puts it in such simple terms, why cant I get it!?!
Try this worksheet out. It includes the answers at the end. cdn.kutasoftware.com/Worksheets/Alg1/Multi-Step%20Equations.pdf
Just wanted to say thank you for being an AMAZING resource! I bought your workbook and felt well prepared for my TEAS. I got 90% on the math section thanks to you. Seriously if anyone is debating on buying the workbook, just do it. I assure you, you'll be well prepared and feel like a math wizard after you complete it. Thanks again, Brandon!
Hey there! Thanks so much for sharing this. Congratulations on tackling the math portion of the TEAS. I'm glad my resources, including my workbook, helped! Please spread the word. :) Happy holidays!
Thank you for all you do for students. I went back to college after 30 years to go into health field and you helped me tremendously on the teas. Scored in the advanced!
Thanks Aaron! I appreciate the comment and am glad to hear that the tuts helped you on the math portion of the TEAS. :)
Bravo !! I forgot all about having this on your request files. The strings always had me stumped.
Thanks mate!
I'm pretty sure you are talking about Newton's Cradle right man? :)
Yeah .... I didn't realise I was on a different video. hahaha
On the bright side, if you ever need a refresher on some math topics, you know where to go. 👊
Thank You so much I was doing so bad in math. Math is definitely my worst subject but I reviewed these before I took my actual exam today and I scored 10% higher than my practice ones.
Congratulations and thanks for the feedback! This will inspire other students. 👊
This is giving me anxiety. I really need to get this
Make sure you check out www.bcraftmath.com/atiteas because I have more videos covering equations.
This was deff on the teas.
No doubt.
I ran into an equation solve for x with a solution set on the ATI TEAS practice exam 5(x-2)^2=125 the answer was {-3,7}. I was confused because I thought I was to suppose to apply distribute properties; the 5 to inside parentheses but instead it showed the 5 was divided from 125. Make me understand, what happens to the 5 next to the parentheses, could you just move it over to the other side for dividing? I'm not sure if this would be the same type of equation?
You can distribute... but... only after you handle the exponent (order of operations)... exponents before multiplication. What you need to do in this problem is divide both sides by 5 first.... so...
(x-2)^2 = 25
Now... take the square root of both sides...
x -2 = 5
or
x-2=-5
Solve both equations for x... adding two will do this.
So x= 7 or -3.
Hope that helps.
Thanks!
on you second sample why does the -3 times; 5 become a negative?
When multiplying, if your signs are different the answer is ALWAYS negative.
@brandon why did you subtract on both side in step 3 instead of adding 6 to both sides.?
Which part of the video?
hi quick question does it matter whether you add 15 to the 6 will that be a whole different answer or could it still be the same. This is where I get confused on which way to move the variables and coefficients?
You can move either term to either side. As long as it cancels on one side, you are good to go! Check this out: ua-cam.com/users/shortsE0pNqTeIm6I?si=g9F4QrZ80AFeIFnf
So you always move variable from the right side to the left side. In the first problem I would of moved 2x to the right and get positive 3x. Does it work from either side?
Commented before watching full video lol. My next question is when you did the first problem over you moved the 6 to the right side. Will the answer change depending on if I move 15 instead. I’m mildly confused because i sometimes get them right and sometimes I don’t
Also for the last problem would the mix number have been 5 2/3?
It doesn't matter what you move as long as you use the inverse operations correctly.
5 and 2/3 equals 17/3
on this video, you say that "you like to move the smaller variable to the bigger side. In your workbook, section 5 #5 question c&d...
Now I moved the smaller value to the bigger value and for both questions; my answers were both negatives. when I moved bigger value to the smaller one, both answer were positive which is the correct answer. could you explain? or maybe I did my math wrong.
Either way works. The FINAL answer will be the same.
@@bcraftmath ok I panicked when I got a negative. Ok thank you sooo much.
On the first question cant we go from right to left, or does it have to be left to right
I think you may be confusing order of operations with solving equations. Follow the steps in this video when solving equations. Search my channel for order of operations where I discuss doing things from left to right.
How can a student get in contact with you for some explanation
www.bcraftmath.com/tutoring is where you can look into my 1 on 1 tutoring. I do it all the time. You can book your sessions there as well.
How do you know you subtract 5x and not 2x
You can go either way. Try it out. You will get the same answer as long as you do the inverse operations correctly and watch your signs.
How do you know which step to do first? I keep doing them in the wrong order
There is no simple answer to that because equations come in so many different ways (parenthesis in some but not others, variables on both sides sometimes, multiple variables on the same side, fractions, etc). The best thing I can say is PRACTICE. Start with ONE STEP equations and work your way up.
@@bcraftmath thank you, I’ve been working through your workbook and sometimes I get incorrect answers in the multi step equations when there’s variables on both sides. I never know which side you’re supposed to put them on or what numbers to get rid of first or if there’s even an order
@@keelykai4817 Give this a shot... in the workbook at the beginning of every section, there is a link that will take you to my website, which breaks down each section with extra videos. Go to section 4 on that website and check out the videos I have there for equations. I know I have a lot of videos, so this extra site linked in the workbook organizes them for you.
@@bcraftmath thank you so much. Also, I can’t say enough good things about this workbook. I have struggled in math my ENTIRE life and now I’m feeling so much more confident than I was, and really understanding most of it. You are amazing!
That's great news. So glad you find the workbook helpful. Also, are you watching the video solutions that cover the 100 problems in the multiple choice and fill in the blank section?
I don't understand how you got 17/3 for the last problem.
Which step is troubling you?
Yeah I did that one before I got towards the end of the video and my answer is x=17
4x-28=-2x+6
Then I subtracted -6 on both sides.
4x-34=2×
Then I subtracted -4x on both sides.
-34=-2x
Then divided both sides with -2
-34 divided by -2
I then got x=17
Since the teas is timed, how on Gods earth , how will one be able to move through the solutions at a fast pace? My guess is that you will have to know the steps involved. I have been out of school for awhile and math was not my strongest medium. Pray for me.
Even though plugging in the multiple choice answers is an option, I highly recommend learning how to solve equations. You will encounter these problems in future math classes as well. Practice is key, especially if you haven't had a math course in a while.
