Algebra - Solving Equations (word problem)

Yay Math in Studio presents a single word problem, the likes of which students around the world experience constantly. The joy for this problem is finding ways to solve it like "a person," rather than exclusively by Algebra. We need to understand what the problem is saying. In fact, we decide to not even pose the question from the beginning, and let you the viewer guess what the question would be. Hoping this helps you become a word problem stud, YAY MATH!

WAY Better than my teacher! She over complicates things.

[@augigie]

I truly enjoyed this math lesson, for the first time I laughed and wasn't afraid. I know it's silly but I hear math and my brain stops working. Thanks for this!

[@duncangmd]

Thank you. Im in 7th grade and my teacher didnt explain shit! This is way better. Thank you once more

[@kat-mh5rf]

Crazy Penguin GMD 7th grade is ass. my teacher didn’t explain shit, never explained anything, that’s why i struggled in 8th and now i’m struggling in freshmen year.

[@bruhianna1139]

[@AhnastasiaRose]

I WISH my teacher was this fun! Lol not only did you explain word problems in a clear and understandable way, but you're super entertaining while you do it! Thank you! Subscribed :D

[@yaymath]

What a wonderfully positive reflection, Ahnastasia. Thank you.

[@EllieBoies]

[@ssmsm4087]

I got A in acc algebra 2 because i always see your videos when I don't understand something. Thank you so much! !

[@FauziaZakaria-um1pu]

😂 really helped,i enjoyed it than any other word problem videos on KZbin

[@yaymath]

Thank you for your kind feedback, Fauzia!

[@becca812]

so the crazy thing is i understood it better than i did in grade school. thanks

[@rachelmerz2122]

This is SOOOOOOOOO helpful! I'm in college algebra right now and doing so many complex word problems. What I am struggling with is how to understand what kind of formulas to come up with to solve the dang things! This helps so much to work backward.

Hi Rachel, you may like my latest video on how to know when to multiply in a word problem. I give a ton of example phrases and pictures. I invite you to check them out and subscribe for upcoming tutorials.

[@rachelmerz2122]

@@Knowledgeovergrades I'm good! I got through and passed my exam with flying colors!!

[@senjoale7125]

I understand more btw thanks because my teacher explains very confusing and im ready for the test. Thanks!

[@PatrickMccarty-sx5jt]

I appreciate your method and passion. I have always had difficulty with word problems and until now I think I know why. For whatever reason I had a compulsion to activate my math brain this morning. The last time I was required to really engage my math brain was in statistics as a requirement for my bachelors degree. After following along with your method I came to the conclusion that in fact I always asked the questions but to far into detail, such as, what other fruits is she selling other than apples and plums. Am I to assume the apples and plums are the only fruits she is selling? Then why use the plural form for fruits just to label them out individually and without stating that she only sells two types of fruits to start with. Which in that case it doesn't matter what types of fruits they are. Is is 50 pieces of fruit or does 50 fruits indicates that it may indicate the there are 50 different types of fruit. If Suzy sells 2 types of fruit and sells a total of 50 pieces of that fruit in a day, how many of each fruit is she selling if she is selling 8 more than the other? I'm 54 now with my 5th child going into equations and I have struggled even with this newer math technique. I really appreciate the channel being up and letting my activate my brain a bit. I'll keep trying.

[@domnueve]

Good stuff Mann, awesome teachings ! Thanks

[@jhonen32629]

Very helpful as always! Thank you!

[@lavaniadelrey2807]

X+ X+8=50 Combine like terms and subtract 8 on both sides. 2X=42 2X/2 42/2=21 X=21

[@stickmaster6003]

Lavania Del Rey Don’t you have to add 8 to the other side to get the number of apples she sold?

[@naqqashakhtar7512]

Waow, student friendly and mind relaxing method. Thanking for this lecture !

[@manmeh4r]

lmfao

[@candace3827]

great explanation. when you posted the variables to represent the fruit and then drew the arrows to the letters, it might be clear if you post the variable = the number of apples, p= the number of plums. The arrow is confusing and not a necessarily a mark used in the problem.

[@ivankulya8291]

Wow...this is amazing. Very clear and precise explanation, great job. But I wish their were more plums than apples.

[@josevaladez8056]

You're a great teacher thanks a lot

[@bernerporres3906]

Way better than my teacher! Thank you!!

[@blackalgae370]

[@myway3501]

Can you make more videos on this it really helped me

Hi, I have helpful word problem videos too. My latest one is about how to know when to multiply in a word problem based on words and phrases used. You'll love the examples and pictures. Check it out and comment with any of your video requests.

Where did he git the 2p

[@nasaralli9895]

Plum x Apple x+8 X+(8+x)= 50 ×+8+x =50 2x = 50-8 2× = 42 X=21 Substitute for the apple (X+8) 21+8 = 29 Answer 21 plum 29 apple

[@leCleb]

Im really bad at math and my teacher does everything so slow so i doze off. Thx for the help man!

[@help2763]

Thanks! My 6th grade math teacher talks REALLY fast and it gets complicated only to me

[@handsomekhan9320]

How This Question Can be solved ? The price of Bag of Flour is 20 and piece of canal land is 150000 (in 1989) . what will price of land if the price of Bag of Flour get to 800 .

[@tonybeathea2849]

6 million. Just multiply 150k by the quotient of 800/20
