Hey for the last two questions would it still be right if I had -3 on the end instead of 3 , or +2 on the end and + five in the first bracket

You are one of the best tutors out there. I wish you could reach 1 mil soon. Whenever I have no gates, I come to your channel and understand how to solve problems.

[@magpiestudent9357]

Excellent. Clear, concise, easy to understand. These videos are my go-to for every topic. They are honestly so helpful and it was very useful to have the drawn curves that illustrate the answers for x.

[@MusicElectric22]

maths has always been stressful but after actually revising for once and using your videos everything is much easier to understand. thanks a lot for these videos man. quick question though, where would the foundation only questions end? since i'm not doing any higher papers.

[@TheGCSEMathsTutor]

Amazing news I’m so glad it working for you! So great to hear that everything is seeming easier and that you are gaining confidence! With my videos, if they are titles as “higher and foundation” or grade 5, these are topics that appear on both papers so the whole video is applicable to foundation as well as higher 😁🙏🏼

it doesn't matter if they are both pluses but if there is a minus just work out the equation and if its wrong just flip them around

Aaaaah thank you so much! I needed that 😂👏🏼

[@drip5952]

how should you decide which positive and negative sign go into which bracket? because regardless of which sign u put in it will give the same answer but if i don't know how to deduce which sign goes into which bracket i wont get the answer right so how do u deduce which sign goes into which bracket????????

[@scarlett1353]

Does it matter which way round the brackets are? Example (x + 7 ) (x - 5) = 0. Could that be correct as ( x - 5 ) ( x + 7 ) = 0. Just checking thanks for video 😊

[@TheGCSEMathsTutor]

Not at all! You still get the same two solitions 😁🙏🏼

[@alizasyeda2837]

wait you know at @15:26 don't you have to do the opposite sign for -2.5 so it'll be 2.5?

[@user-yz9xr6sc3o]

No because 2x = -5 and youre trying to find x so you just divide -5 by 2 and get -2.5. He already did the opposite sign from +5 to -5 at the start.

no it would be positive if 4 - - 4 =8 the two negative charges are next to each other

[@ineshyung316]

Hello sir, I'm studying an IGCSE in maths and I 'm on the topic of Factorising Quadratics. Your videos really help but I really don't understand the bit where you explain why we must flip the signs, could you explain or just tell me why we flip signs when factorising Quadratics?

[@usergf1294]

I’m doing IGSCE too!

[@sali__mk2245]

2x^2 - x - 1 = 0 could be (2x-1)(x+1) so solutions could be x=0.5 and x= - 1 or am i wrong???

[@GCSEALevelMaths2025]

Careful it should be (2x+1)(x-1) so it’s -1/2 and 1

Hi, how would I solve 8x^2 + 2x - 15 = 0 using your method?

[@javed8778]

u can't bro he doesn't make sense at 20:43

[@estherm877]

you can't solve it by factorising directly,because it has a coefficient greater than 1 for 8x^2 therefore you have to use the a x c method first

[@Average4242]

-4x-4 isnt 8 that part was wrong

[@nusaiba3564]

It's right, two negatives multiplied make a positive.
