AWESOME HACK For Algebra - Factoring Made EASY 

I'm 73. When I was in high school I was pretty good in basic math but never understood Algebra. I enjoy your course. Thanks

My factoring is improving by the day, thanks to your videos. :)

You are literally carrying me through my maths course right now! Thanks for the great content.

Ans: ( x+3) (X-4)= -12 Just get factors of -12 . +4 and -3 =-12 and +1x in the centre. Solved it in my head ( ex Maths teacher -retired). Listing the factors of -12 is a good way to star when learning trinomial equations and early Algebra.

Great explanations! C.H.

I generally found the biggest issue with factoring is the lack of basic multiplication tables. Without solid understanding of the basics it effects the more advanced mathematics.

This isn't really a hack, it's just the way a person would do it mentally, without all the writing and going through all the steps. "What two numbers multiply together to get 12 and add or subtract to get 1?" Then you figure out the signs. Though I acknowledge how beginners might need the procedure you showed. The only disadvantage is the time that it takes. That's always a factor on tests.

Thank you sir! Your video is easier to understand

You might want to join the lesson about 3 - 4 minutes into the video to see the actual lesson.

I like watching your videos but you are rambling too much. You are loosing attention spans.

19 minutes almost for a "trick" too loblng dude.
