Thanks for these strate foward videos, i passed math 1 week ago. I keep recommending you videos to others. God bless you 🙏

[@GetSumMath]

Congrats, my friend!! 🙌🏼 Thank you for recommending as well! 🙏🏼😃

[@hibah_Draws]

I love how you break down ever math problem using a very simple and easy strategy 👏🏻

[@GetSumMath]

I’m glad they help! Thanks for watching 🙏🏼

[@HelenLam33]

Thank you so much for your class on all here, because I pass my ged .

[@GetSumMath]

Congratulations!! 🙏🏻

[@iDrinkMug]

Been binge watching your videos since February. Today, I’ve passed my final GED test!! 🎉🎉 Thank you, Sir!!

[@GetSumMath]

Woohoo! 🙌🏼 Super happy to hear that!! Thank you for letting me know 🙂 Best of luck with your journey from here!

[@Latinaenlandshut]

The best I pass my math test today 🎉🎉 I watching your videos a week finally pass thanks

[@GravitySix-G6]

I am focusing on Science then on math. Maybe I will do English or social studies with Math if it is possible. I need suggestion which to go for

[@GetSumMath]

Since language arts is the longest, that one’s good to do by itself. But some like to do science and social studies together since those are shorter. Then you could save math for last 👍🏼

[@TEAMCAPTAIIN]

Done!

How do I use that virtual calculator? I just started studying for my GED and your vids kept coming up as too recommended!

[@GetSumMath]

I downloaded mine from TI’s website, it comes with a free 90 day trial! education.ti.com/en/software/details/en/3E7218FDF3844AFEBA3885B671191CEB/sda-ti-smartview-ti-30x-ti-34-multiview

[@christinabello5343]

Wow thank you so much

[@GetSumMath]

You got it! Hope it helps 👍🏼

[@pkvvreyna8452]

I am officially a graduate🎉🎉 thanks to your videos

[@GetSumMath]

Woohoo! 🙌🏼 Congratulations my friend!! 😜

The last problem got me confused, other then that it was awesome

[@GetSumMath]

Glad it helped! 🙏🏻 For that last one, you'd basically just plug in the x to both sides of the equation and only one answer will result in both sides being equal. Hope that clarifies a little!

[@smustwatchs6457]

The 3/4 equation I’m lost. I’m not understanding why it’s negative 3/4? Ugh I’m so confused.

[@GetSumMath]

If you plug in -4/3 for x on the left side, you'll get 40/3. If you plug in -4/3 for x on the right side, you'll also get 40/3. Since both sides are equal, this must be the correct answer 👍🏼 If you tried to plug in any other choice, like option A, replacing x with 3/4 on both sides, they will not be equal, so that will not be the correct answer. Let me know if that helps at all!

[@smfd9673]

Ur a genius 😂😂😂

[@GetSumMath]

😝

[@jenerechurn3181]

I can’t pass the math to save my life! I got 144 then 143😢

[@GetSumMath]

Ah bummer! You're right there! Have you tried the practice problems on my website yet? getsummath.com Also, do you have the TI-30xs to practice with by chance?

[@jenerechurn3181]

@@GetSumMath yes and I will check out the website now thanks!

[@StephanieSmith-u7c]

I understand, same for me. trying not to give up :(

[@SylviaHampton-zz1zz]

how to use a calculator to make it easier

[@Yuu_ta07]

I don't understand 😞

[@GetSumMath]

An equation is like a scale, where you want both sides to be balanced, or equal. When you “solve for x” you find the x value that makes both sides equal. But instead of doing the steps to solve for x, we’re just testing what happens when we substitute different x values. The one that makes both sides equal must be the answer. I hope that helps a little! Here is another way to solve them! How to Solve Equations on GED kzbin.info/www/bejne/d2q2mKtpppyghs0

[@callibees9480]

can you actually go through each answer and explain why they dont work so we can learn how to do it

[@GetSumMath]

Hey there, here's what you'd get for the third example if you tried the other options: Solve. 4x - 7 + 3x = 35 A. x = 3, so change x's to 3's. 4(3) - 7 + 3(3) = 14 Since we didn't get 35, x can't be 3. B. x = 4 4(4) - 7 + 3(4) = 21 Again, this doesn't equal 35, so x can't be 4. C. x = 5 4(5) - 7 + 3(5) = 28 Not 35, so x cannot be 5 either. D. But, x is 6 does work since: 4(6) - 7 + 3(6) = 35 And we wanted to get 35 on the right side 👍🏼 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ And for the last problem, we could try A and B with the given equation: 2(x + 8) = 5(x + 4) A. x = 3/4 Left Side: 2(3/4 + 8) = 17.5 Right Side: 5(3/4 + 4) = 23.75 Since both sides are not equal, this is not the correct answer. B. x = 4/3 Left Side: 2(4/3 + 8) = 18.6 Right Side: 5(4/3 + 4) = 26.6 Again, since both sides are not equal, this is not the correct answer. C. x = -4/3 Left Side: 2(-4/3 + 8) = 13.3 Right Side: 5(-4/3 + 4) = 13.3 Now, since both sides ARE equal, this is the correct answer! Hope that helps some!
