for the one with 3x in front, when you get to the part where you multiply by half... you said to simplify 1st....what did you mean? both the numerator and denominator or just the numerator like you did? i got to this point ----- 1/2x(3/8) how do I simplify this does the 2 go into the 8?

Completing The Square makes more sense (and is much easier) when you use, what Dr. James Tanton calls, the Quadrus Method (area model in conjunction with the Multiplicative Property of Equality), so you can avoid all those fractions.

I love your style of tutoring Mr Whitt. I’m 69 and brushing up on my math to help grandchildren. When I was taught in the 60s we lived in fear of our teachers. Getting answers wrong in those days got you ridiculed and made to feel useless. They say every lesson can change a life, I’m sure your easy style of tutoring will inspire many kids to go on and do great things 👏👏👏

Thank you! After being out of school for 15 yrs, and now enrolled into college, I was SEVERELY struggling in Algebra. You have simplified it and explained it so well that even a simpleton like myself can understand it successfully, and now do this on my own! You rock :)

@FortBendTutoring2 жыл бұрын
Using your examples, you would begin by subtracting 1 from both sides of the equation first to set the equation equal to zero and follow the process in the video. In your second example, you begin by subtracting 4 from both sides of the equation.

Fort Bend Tutoring Thanks for your reply. I was wondering if, to practice solving these equations in this manner I can basically "make up" quadratic equations to solve, or will there be some that will not work, perhaps because the numbers (constants?)I would put in, would not really allow for a coherent equation. I understand that some will have solutions that are irrational numbers. Thanks!
@FortBendTutoring9 жыл бұрын
Yes, the constants will make a huge difference and deter from your progress. You can find plenty of practice problems by searching for ["your math topic" worksheet with answers] on the Internet.
