I used to struggle on algebra now I'm finding it bit easy now cuz doing an algebra you really need to understand it

+Pomonoli NO insult taken. I just studied the maths for 2 years, until the examination, which I passed, having never even heard of an X squared, or algebra. Now, After the exam, I hadnt used or had reason to use maths until roughly 1 year ago when I saw some featured videos about them on the internet. I am not studying for 18 years, I had forgotten all I learned in my 50s. Great to get back to them, even if it is just for passing time, and keeping the old brain alive. Thank you for your reply.

Let's just say not understanding my class work was slowly killing me. Thank you for saving me. I really feel as if you just saved my life.

[@homeboi808]

I mean, this is how 100% of teachers teach this. The only difference is doing it all at once instead of in steps.

[@onceonly1111]

Always good to see this stuff being taught. I remember as a kid I never understood algebra for ages, until a teacher explained to me that 'Equals means the same on both sides'. Before then, it was taught to me that the question, formula or problem went on one side, and the answer stayed on the other side of the equals sign. No one ever explained to me that I was allowed to move numbers from one side to the other of the equals sign for a really long time. As long as the equation made sense I could move the numbers wherever I wanted, and it was only my final answer that needed to academically written as equation = result.

[@onceonly1111]

8:08 Even looking at these now, the use of a square root still catches me out about where it should be used when doing the equation backwards, because it gets drawn in front of several numbers. I keep wanting to work out the square root of the numbers before anything else, treating it like brackets.

[@tecmath]

Thanks mate. I remember understanding it, but then writing out copious working out to show something I could see.

[@InToTheNetherMc]

This is exactly the same as normal equation solving. You just used another notation. I don't really think it makes things any faster, you still have to know how to inverse the operations. You can solve all of them fast and without much effort using the "standard method". (5x - 8) / 3 = 4 5x - 8 = 4 * 3 5x = 4 * 3 + 8 x = (4 * 3 + 8) / 5 x = 4 It's all just basic algebra.

I really don't see the problem? You just need to bring both sides to a common denominator ( (3x+5):7 = 14:7 ) then just throw it away ( 3x+5 = 14 ) and you get the usual linear equation -> 3x = 14-5 -> 3x = 9 -> x = 9:3 -> x = 3 This is very easy and takes no more than 5 sec to solve. Maybe in US you people were taught a different way of solving this?

A MathPug ad pops up saying are the videos really helping? Yeah. Tecmath’s tricks are real handy

[@jimmytate7642]

That was great unfortunately my short term memory dictates me watching it over and over again to get it to stick, however, that was very easy, just not easy for me to remember. Great job

[@lulumeka1701]

why the heck can i understand you but not my original math teacher like jesus christ.

[@keanielbonilla4137]

Mindy Hills 😂😂😂

[@MyWeedgrower]

I'm the same way too

[@pansybrowne2061]

BECAUSE YOU WERE NOT MATURE AND FOCUSSED

[@deimosbf1805]

Idk about you but I have a hard time understanding mine because whenever she teaches it sounds like she is talking in a sarcastic "ur dhmb" voice

[@coolestdoodever753]

*THIS COMMENT IS BASED ON MY OPINION* I think I have to same problem too. I don't understand my original math teacher but I understand this guy. I think it's because of the screen. You see, a few people will pay attention to their screen then in class.

math quiz...If you have 7 pencils and I have 4 apples, how many pancakes will fit on the roof?

[@jonathanbrock3681]

carrot?

[@treyatkins8413]

+Kazzard89 -4

[@nhp6488]

the quadratic formula.

Carlos Morales Never spent a lesson on current events, instead I studied the old american west

[@creatorsloth9687]

Thanks for the help I was having trouble at first but this really helped me

[@emilycoyle4856]

I have a math exam today (I’m in year 7) and I haven’t learnt algebra and It’s manly on algebra! So this has helped me heaps 😂

[@prateekmandaliya3810]

√9 = +3, -3 Am I right?

[@shah_sa.1102]

yes!!

[@BiscuitZombies]

that is the principal root

[@yarubik]

yes you are right, plug it back in and it still works so you are right

[@7osb]

Yarubiks66 Just because it works doesn’t mean that _/9 = +_3, yes the solutions are +_ _/9 = +_3 but the square root of 9 is just only 3

[@7osb]

x^2 = 9 Take the square root of both sides | x | = 3 Then, It’s either x = 3 or -x = 3 As a shortcut, we do this : | x | = 3 x = +_3 So that’s why, x^2 = 9 x = +_3 There are missing steps as a shortcut, but _/9 is always 3, since the definition of _/ is the principle root

[@nate_wills]

this guys a freakin genius he belongs at Harvard or something

[@TheBeardedMathMan]

nice job unwrapping the order of operations here

[@coolestdoodever753]

I remember one time my math teacher said, "Algebra...is your bruh."

[@fanshop4548]

What 😅

[@sirajul-anik]

Watching your videos for the last two days. A few videos showed up in my YT feed. None ever taught like this. As I don't do maths in my profession nowadays, but if I remember these, will definitely teach others hopefully.

[@All_Rounder634]

Really Really thnq sir for this video...I understood this equation better than my school teaching

[@kylereyes7354]

I really hate algebra it's cause of my stress and give me alots of problems with every day.

[@harpreetbedi4234]

I solved this mentally in my head before he started solving it...

[@jataunmartin8710]

I love your accent and I love you man! This old girl is trying to prepare for the MCAT and you just gave me some hope. Thank you so very much. I'm literally crying. Thank you!

[@mezmez5799]

My goodness...I love you!! I left so many college credits on the board because I kept flunking the math! Now I have hope I can go back and finish my degree.

[@makeyousmarteverydaysmarti4480]

THIS ISNT A TRICK THIS IS LEGIT INVERSE OPERATION

[@apacheattackhelicopter5823]

Make you smart everyday Smarties well what is your definition of a math trick? Everything is explained by math but some ways are easier than others

[@firstlast-qn1tz]

I don't know what teachers are teaching, but this is general math knowledge

[@calaphone1]

Isn't this just exactly how you do it the normal way...

[@ilanchezhiantypeunknown4096]

It's a better way to do it in your head

[@25shala]

Exactly!

[@smores4945]

Dear algebra Stop telling us to find x She not coming back

[@wendymyers3182]

When I was a child learning simple division I was getting all the answers correctly. So our teacher had the children who were getting correct answers to come to the black board so the other children might catch on. Well though I got the answers right I was doing the division differently than what teacher taught thereby completely making me to this day not be able to understand it the standard way!!! I'm 62 now and she messed me up till this day!! TY

[@jaxerus5161]

ive gotta say your tutorials and teaching style are brilliant. i was never any good at maths at school, now im in uni and maths is a key subject area these are absaloute GOLD. thank you

[@factg5614]

THIS IS MORE EASIER THAN GETTING THE LCD

[@ChilledfishStick]

Isn't this "trick" just a variation of the usual way to solve those problems? To find x, you need to reverse the order of operations, that is the description of the problem. What new information is added here? It's really not my intention to be mean, I'm sure that it's helpful to someone who doesn't know how to solve those problems, but it doesn't add anything to those who do. Or did I miss something?

[@ChilledfishStick]

monganni It says "shortcut trick" in the title.

[@DHarri9977]

ChilledfishStick I believe the point is many have been taught to do it the old way from left to right which obviously requires more steps hence the term shortcut and the trick of reversing the operators thus simplifying the equation.

[@ChilledfishStick]

Dharri I'm not sure it does take more steps. It is essencially (11*2+3)/5. Your explenation does make sense, I'm just not sure it's a good trick.

[@DHarri9977]

It may also be individualistic terms of what works for one person vs. another. The concepts are good either way.

[@monganni]

ChilledfishStick Well i think it's a fantastic trick. (revelatory in fact) Isn't the single most important thing; is that people learn from this, and not whether you think it's a 'good trick' or not? Of course if you're wise to the teachings here you won't be enamoured with the method. And yes, you did miss something - if somebody didn't know how to solve these types of equations, but after watching this video they now do, then this video has been a total success. Pedant!
