Algebra Trick - Solve Algebra Faster than you Learnt in School! 

As you'll see from other comments... a lot of people do it a much longer way. It's exhausting.

this is how I was taught as well haha

@@tecmath now i need to know what this longer way is lmao!

@@CactusFragz well, you take the 5 in the denominator over to the other side, and multiply that by 3 that makes 15. The take the 3 to the other side and subtract that from 15. That leaves us with 4x=12, take the 4 to the right and divide it by 12. 12÷4=3.

@@AbdullahWaqar454 isnt that basically what he has showed in the video?

Says who? Trump?

@@cartidise Actually, democrats are scrapping the Math subject because apparently it’s racist LOL.

@@createinmeacleanheartohgod6871 Source?

Any subject can be fun if your life doesn't depend on you succeeding in it

Psst kid... wanna buy an unused calculator cheap?

I'm 50 and I'm STILL watching them 🤣

Really? How long has he been uploading vids?

@@1beachygurl dude, I'm in my mid-teens. 9 years old was not that long ago

I don't understand how else would you solve it, what alternate method is there that you were taught?

I love algebra too it's so fun!!!!!!

Don't be sorry. It's not better.

It is supossed to be a TRICK not a learning method

X=5 3(25)+2/11=7 75+2/11=7

G'day! Glad you stopped to say it!

I have... coming up!

Two weeks in a row I've done that!

@@tecmath happens to the best of us

X=45/10

exactly my point lmao! this is the only way i have ever learnt to solve it!

Right? I don't get it either.

It’s been over 20 years since my first algebra class but if I remember correctly, we would put parentheses around (4x+3/5) and multiple both sides by 5 to eliminate the fraction. This ends up being : 4x+3=3(5). -> 4x+3=15. -> 4x=12 -> x=3

@@LarimaBeyondBorders Right, which is exactly what he did. So there's not really any difference.

@@LarimaBeyondBorders thats exactly what he showed us in the video lmao!

You just take one to the other side by using the inverse operation like he is doing with the other cases.

Yeah that's how I always done it?

I was in high school in the early to mid 90s and this definitely wasn’t taught to me.

I’m still in school and this how it’s taught. What new crackpot ways are people teaching now?

@@Saladin0127 very time consuming ways

@@HalalHistory No, I mean like I’m actually curious.

5--3X==10/5 5--3=====2 2=======2 X=1

Yep. This is just a sequence that is written off what is being worked out (according to BODMAS)

Well done! But your marks are your work - congratulations!

None! I went to high school from '73 to '78 and this is EXACTLY how we did it. I don't know what he's talking about. Only difference is we did one step at a time, which is normal practice when learning something new. I teach maths now, and I still each it this way. We were taught that whatever you do to one side do the same to the other. So, to clear the division from the LHS, multiply both sides by 5, for example. Then, we'd write down that step. Once we had done that we'd do the next step. Writing out each step is good practice for learners as it keeps them focussed, gives them a written record of their working so they can find errors in their working if their final answer is incorrect. As teachers, marking exams, it gives us the opportunity to award marks for correct working, even if a calculation is slightly out. I don't know what he's talking about in this video, when he says 'lines and lines of messy working'. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Yep - I stuffed it up! Fixed now - thanks!

Thanks for the comment. My bad - or would probably be clearer to say 'let's start with the number on the right hand side of the equals sign - that number sitting all over there by itself'. Go from there. Please let me know how you go.

There is an upload from about 8 years ago.

just for your info learnt is indeed a word

First multiply 7 and -1 which is -7 Then subtract 3 which is -10 And divide it by 6 -10/6 which can be written as -5/3

@@NinniWasTaken the solution is 4 -_-

@@NinniWasTaken That is misleading: Bring all like terms onto one side. That is, we will be subtracting 7x from each side. This gives 6x - 7x + 3 = 7x - 7x - 1 which is simplified to -x + 3 = -1 Bring the 3 to the right side by subtracting 3 from both sides, giving -x = -4. Multiply both sides by -1 to get the final answer of x = 4

X=4 24+3=27 28-1=27

Because you have to move the numbers to the other side of the equation so you're just left with x. Just look at x+3=5, you're not going to get anywhere by adding... You need to subtract 3 from both sides.

@@Twas-RightHere thanks ☺️

An equation is a balanced number sentence. Think of it as a set of bucket scales. Whatever expression or number is in the left hand bucket must equal the same value as what is written in the right hand bucket, so the scales are balanced. So, if you had 5 apples of equal weight in each bucket and you took one out of one bucket, you'd need to take an apple out of the other bucket, right? Now, in algebra our aim is to have just the pronumeral in one bucket and a single numreal in the other bucket. To reduce the expression on the LHS to only the pronumeral we need to cancel out all the operations done to the pronumeral. We start by reversing the operation that is as far detached from the x as possible. In this case, the division by 5. To undo, or reverse divide by 5, we need to do the opposite. Think of it as untying knots in a rope. If a rope has knots in it, to return the rope to its original untied state, we need to untie the knots. To 'untie' the 'divide by 5', we do the opposite, so we multiply by 5. Because we are multiplying the LHS by 5, we need to do the same to the RHS.
