Thank you soooooo much for the help, got my GED yesterday!! Your classes are AWESOME. Hang in there guys!!

[@LightandSaltLearning]

Yay!!! Congratulations!!! You're welcome!

@@LightandSaltLearning Is this a "PEMDAS" question? Orders of operations, if doing on paper.

[@salomonsalguero584]

Thank you for your teaching you are making people's bright future

[@LightandSaltLearning]

You are so welcome!

[@brandonsuire9601]

I am here to learn this calculator and you are an excellent resource, I am looking forward to incorporating your teachings to my Grandchildren!

[@LightandSaltLearning]

So glad you're finding my resources useful!

[@thomastammaro693]

You make it look so easy, But yet you make tangling with the Calculator fun and understandable 👊

[@LightandSaltLearning]

Yay! Glad you found the vid useful!

[@TheLakeShow]

Im glad i found this channel. My test is on 12/22/20. Its the Online version. Im hoping they make online permanent given the COVID-19 lock down and how its affected testing centers being open. Knowing is half the battle and this saves a lot of time on a timed test. By knowing how to use the calculator along with how to do problems its hard not to pass. You explain clearly and concise and give multiple examples. I will be studying your GED calculator instruction vids nonstop along with other material and doing practice problems. Repetition, muscle memory, and practice problems along with knowledge of how to use the TI-30xs calculator anyone can pass no question. Thank you and i appreciate the content to you provide as it adds great value. Will be telling others i know or come across about this channel.

[@LightandSaltLearning]

So glad you found the videos useful! Check out the Calculator Skills page of my GED Math Crash Course for even more vids and a quiz to test your calculator skills! sites.google.com/view/gedmathcrashcourse/math-101/using-the-ged-calculator

[@TheLakeShow]

@@LightandSaltLearning will do. I reviewed the order of operations PEMDAS and it harder or longer ones but was looking for the problems like this for ex 1. 2(6×-15×) -6×. The answer i was able to do writing out which was -24x. But wasn't able to put that in on the TI30XS calculator. Not sure what I'm doing wrong. I added the X got an error or zero I believe if I recall correctly or tried without X's in it ofc that changes the equation thus the answer. Does the link you sent me cover that and also doing or combining like terms for example? Cause the online GED whiteboard/scratch board kinda sucks lol. Been practicing a lot on it got better but it's time consuming having to use it writing out problems so I rather not waste much time writing out the problem being we cannot use scratch paper while being proctored/watched by the proctor.

[@LightandSaltLearning]

@@TheLakeShow You can't put the variable (letter) into the calc. It will do computations for you, but you need to be able to handle the algebra. Here's the Unit from the Crash Course on algebra. The particular problem example you used above is an example of SIMPLIFYING ALGEBRAIC EXPRESSIONS (Lessons 6-8) sites.google.com/view/gedmathcrashcourse/algebra

[@TheLakeShow]

@@LightandSaltLearning thanks for the info and will examine both links for further nuance so I can for sure, pass GED Math online test in a week plus from now & obtain my GED. Only have one more test to go.

I love your videos! So easy to follow. Thank you for these!

Thank you so much. I love my TI-30XS.

Right! It is so helpful!

[@tinahirgelt8808]

Oh, Okay thanks, I didnt know (or forgot) the x10n key .. appreciate your response.

[@LightandSaltLearning]

You're welcome!

[@foziamohammedali4257]

What’s the BEST calculator to use to solve radicals (square roots, cube roots), linear and quadratic equations and absolute values???

[@LightandSaltLearning]

I don't have a ton of experience with other calcs, sorry. This is the only one allowed for the GED, so this one is what I use most of the time.

[@Lala89856]

Thank you so much! I have my math test this Wednesday!

[@LightandSaltLearning]

Good luck!!

[@tinahirgelt8808]

Hi, thanks for the info... it was helpful , just got my TI30xs today... my question is about my calculator ... I entered a fraction of 4 and 3/63rds , i hit enter thinking it would reduce it but i got an improper fraction of 85/21.. Is this correct?

[@LightandSaltLearning]

Yes, it is correct. But you can also convert it into a mixed number (4 1/21) using the convert function (2nd, x10n). Although neither way is more correct, since a mixed number was given to you, it's probably a mixed number answer they are looking for.

[@nitsgh2256]

why does my calculate have a parenthesis between the mix fraction

[@LightandSaltLearning]

Are you asking why you need parenthesis or why your calculator adds one?

[@nicolearanda9487]

oh emm gee thank you so much iv had the answers in my hand ALL ALONG i take my hiset test in 7 weeks and im so exited thank you thank you thank you

[@LightandSaltLearning]

You're welcome. However, I am not sure which calculator is used on the HiSET and for which skills you are allowed a calculator. If I were you, I'd do some research about the specifics of your test and the calculator policy.

[@nicolearanda9487]

@@LightandSaltLearning i guess its the computer calculator i had to reschedule cause iv been practicing on the TI-30xs so its a little frustrating

[@LightandSaltLearning]

@@nicolearanda9487 That does sound frustrating. I'm sorry.

[@annali6421]

You can use calculator for these on the test?

[@LightandSaltLearning]

Yes! There a 5 questions that need to be answered without a calculator and the rest can be done with it!

[@sahibahmadi3929]

Can you do a quadratic one please?

I've got one already. Here you go kzbin.info/www/bejne/oZKyoZ6chtuMpLs

@@LightandSaltLearning thanks for your help.

[@jrican4371]

math print is for all math problems?

[@LightandSaltLearning]

Not exactly. Mathprint writes and gives simplified answers like a mathematician usually would. But if you are looking for decimal answers classic mode is the quickest route.

[@Lostsymbol3333]

For the mode change on the calculator, would I always leave it as mathprint for the entire math test? Also what is the between classic mode vs mathprint?

[@LightandSaltLearning]

For most of the problems on the GED, I prefer mathprint, yes. Most frequently I use classic mode for when I want a decimal answer.

[@nitsgh2256]

is math print and fixed mode same

[@LightandSaltLearning]

I have never heard of "fixed mode". What calculator are you using?

[@LoganCampbell-p8m]

Tell you please tell me how to find greater than and less than on the calculator

[@LightandSaltLearning]

That isn’t on there because it isn’t an operation (something you do with numbers like add, subtract, etc). What skill are you working on that you wanted that button? Solving inequalities?
