Algebra Shortcuts - Work smarter and faster! 

Wow 30 year's I thought I was dumb and bad at math, but 5 minutes in this guy got me doing algebra in my head. Good job my guy

They should broadcast this stuff in classes. If I had this type of teaching given to me back in school my maths would be great

You just simplify Algebra in 5 minutes, that my teacher couldn’t do in 2 semester 👍

This channel is amazing. I’m 24 and have wanted to better educate myself in mathematics for a while and the techniques/way you explain things makes the learning experience very informative, but also a lot of fun! Not an easy task to accomplish, so thank you for these videos and the hard work that’s put into them 😁

These instructions makes everything so MUCH easier! Love this channel!

I have had terrible moments of trying to learn math all of my life. At one point when I was eight, my mother would physically hit me with a ruler if I got the answer wrong. I feared and hated math! This channel has made me excited that I can ACTUALLY do it! Thank you 🙏❤️

I’m East Indian here but this what exactly we were doing in our algebra class 6th grade 2010. This so basic I don’t feel this as a trick!

The simultaneous trick was absolutely brilliant!

This explains everything in easily remembered methods.

This is brilliant! Thank you for all the hard work you do.

No way I just spent two hours watching this channel... call me a nerd but I love math

Wow, have struggled with algebra my entire life and this simplified it wonderfully

Haven't done Algebra in 53 years... I understood it then and enjoyed it knowing what you do on one side of the equation, you do on the other... I received good grades, but the memory has left me... seemed confusing some of it. If I saw it done old school style, it may ring a bell! HA! Good teacher - been watching some of your other videos just to see what I remembered... much, to my surprise at 68. Loved math! Thank you for sharing & have a Happy Thanksgiving from a grateful California gramma 😄🌴🌺

This channel is amazing! I always loved math but found algebra and geometry challenging. This simplifies it in a way that makes me want to learn it more and get better at it ❤

I believe that the capability to learning about anything relies on a couple of different factors; 1) Possessing at least average intelligence in order to be able to learn, comprehend, and retain the principles involved. 2) Certain subjects are more easily learned by the side of the brain that is better able to comprehend that particular subject matter. In other words, it's a left brain, right brain situation. Math comes easily to some, but not the ability to drive a car in a safe, effective manner. 3) There's also the fact that HOW a subject is taught or explained makes a big difference in the subject matter being learned and understood so that it can then be implemented by those of us of average intelligence. 👍

This trick was taught by the textbook in 8 or 9th grade it helped me understand it really well. I really enjoy watching your videos even the ones i know ,bc it really engages my mind and strengthens the basics.

Great short cut. Thanks!

thanks for the help and support

When did Bruce from finding Nemo start teaching algebra. Anyway this is awesome great video

I don't understand why my teachers aren't at least half like this guy

I’m really impressed by the quality of video, can you let me know what are the tools you are using for recording videos ?

thank you for this video, this helped me so much

Thanks for your amazing Video :) Always learn something new or reinforce something I've learnt :)

Work smarter, not harder!

Thank you very much 🤜🏽

I wish you had a million subscribers, you make us understand it soo well. Thanks and keep up your hard work 😎

Great Video 👌

I love it!

Where were you in the 80’s when I was crashing and burning on algebra

Also watched your trigonometry video and man was that so simplified

you're really best teacher,i did subscribed you todat thanks for helping us. I am sure you helping alot of parent's like me,i came here to refresh my math so i can help my children with their homework.🏆🏆

This such fun!

Thanku so much. it's very useful for me to use it in my competitive exam. Love from india.

That is an example of knowledge denied in maths classes.

Thanks

New subscriber .. Ty

thanks

Please continue

Goshh!! 😳You are definitely an AMAZING TEACHER🤩🤩🤩 ...Thank you soooooooooo much!!!!! All ur short cuts is just Wooow!!!“FANTASTIC”🤩🤩🤩 Will get this jumper tecmath..🌈soon..

Nice

Mr. Shortcutter.. I like how you simplify math..

plz upload a video on trachtenberg speed math methods...

Wow this is better then school

Very good I need you when I was going to school 😂 lol

That's not a shortcut, that IS how you solve algebraic equations!!

How about X/Y = ? Thanks for sharing your knowledge👍🏼👍🏼

Good

Is it just me or his voice made me forget what I just learned 🤣

THis is great sir sir could u do tricks on all types of partial fractions, please.

I struggled so hard through chem 1 and 2 for my BA. I had the worst algebra teacher my freshman year of highschool and ive had a hard time with math ever since.

👍👍👍👍 nice

Another way to do 2 equations with 2 variables fast is by turning the equations into an addition and cancel one of the variables during the addition process. In the last example you can multiply the upper equation by 1.5 so as to turn the 2y into a 3y. Thus... 4.5x + 3y = 10.5 5x - 3y = 37 Now think about the two equations as a big addition in which you add the X values individually, the y values undividually, and the constant values individually: 4.5x + 3y = 10.5 + 5x - 3y = 37 ___________________ The Y values will be cancelled. So we add the x values and the constant values: 4.5x + 3y = 10.5 + 5x - 3y = 37 ___________________ 9.5x = 47.5 Now we solve for X: x = 47.5/9.5 X = 5 Now we solve for Y: 5(5) -3y = 37 25 - 3y = 37 -3y = 12 y = -4 I think that's a faster method, except you have to deal with divisions of decimals. The caveat is having no negative or no positive variables. Then you need to multiply one of the equations by a negative number so as to be able to cancel one of the variables.

I wish the teachers in the 90’s would have explained it this easily

Wow....call me gobsmacked! I could have actually had a better time in high school math! All these wasted years....

Love New Zealand

There are many who are interested in maths not because of academic/professional reasons but for hobby, or overcoming a childhood fear. It's untapped territory for maths RU-vidrs.

i thought i was dumb in my school years, that last problem confirm that i still am.

Waoo, got it

Legend thank you my bro is dumb so thx 🙏

Hi Tecmath, in the second and third shortcuts how do you know when to add or subtract and and how do you know if your dealing with a positive or negative number. This may be a stupid question but I got lost on facets of the last two !!!!

in the third shortcut you solved for x and then put in the x value to calculate what y is, not that this question really matters but im curious how you would solve for y first using the same trick?

does the first trick work for everything?

These are the ways I learned from childhood is there any ways else that I dont know despite of having master degree?

I thought that these were tought in every school

Bro i done algebra all through year 8 and didnt understand a single thing about it that was last year im in year nine now and school jasnt started but now i know how to do two step algebra when before i couldne even do one step

one problem is that sometimes it's easier to find the value of one variable than it is to solve for x, especially if the fraction doesn't always come out perfectly.

do you have a book?

First two I completely get. The last one isn’t sinking in 🤔

Make some basic geometry and basic trigonometry test, and teach us, how it solved and how it works make for us some example solution or basic solution, for that…thank you I hope to notice my request

Y you can't x everything inside the bracket by 2. Only 2 x 3. Y?

I Saw This Shortcut Before 7 Years of ur Video

Counterintuitive mathematics

Bro you is god

7:35 why subtraction and not addition???

Sometimes, A1 needs to just let 2b so that 3 can c the 4D. What say you my friends ???

this is stuff i learned in year 7???

Can you show me how these apply to real life?

Equation shortcuts.... and isn't this rote learning an algorithm without understanding balancing equations?

1:00 You forgot your parenthesis

uhmm I have this problem in my head and it won't go away because I am not sure if my answer is correct sooo can you please help me..... the Problem If one ream of bond paper costs (x - 4) dollars. How many reams can you buy for (6x⁴ - 17x³ + 24x² - 34x + 24) dollars?

Hey how to solve 2-3x/4=5 by this method...?

After u showed the first problem, I wanted to drop my phone like they drop mics. Get out of here omg wow lol

Can someone explain what he did here? Im a little confused: 7:10

can you make one for fractions? Thanks -EpicGrowtopian

Hi

now i can beat my friends thanks

I learned this like in 6. Grade and everyone says the German school system is bad (it is)

I can solve them faster with out this method But it's beautiful way to solve 🌸

Please how you got y was too fast

I fail twice never had good teachers in my school year

How is -3 20 i dont get it

🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️🌹

Wait isn't this just algebra? How do they teach it in school? This is what I always did? I'm not being facetious I'm actually curious how they teach ir

Josh😎😎

Whenever your choosing to to minus what from what like with the equation 5x+2=3x-6 how did you decide that your subtracting 3x from 5x and -2 from -6?

Wait! At 5:20 on to the end of that particular example, you SUBTRACTED 2 from 6 and totaled 8. Did you make a mistake and/or is that the part of the problem and reason why I had such a difficult time learning math in school? 😲

I love how people on the internet think this is a math "trick." All it really is is reading the problem forwards and backwards. We all did this back in the 3rd grade. We did 3 + 2 and we got 5. Then, we did 5 - 2 to get us back to 2. Every problem involving the 4 operations is like this. Read an addition problem forwards, then use subtraction to go backwards. Read a multiplication problem forwards, then use division to go backwards.

👏👏👏👏🙏🙏👏👏👏👏👏
