thank you i kinda got a good idea of breaking down a problem but i wanna become great!

Absolutely! Strive 2 be the best DAboy!

whats the best way besides your video to a good grip on this subject... do u have a app or website??

Workbooks and worksheets are good. However, we haven’t released any on this topic yet. In the future you can check Shop.TutorMeMath.net for workbooks on this and other math concepts.

Hello Wesley! I just needed the two values to have a difference of 18. I chose the latter because it was the prettiest of the two choices. 👨🏾‍🏫😀

O okay so it didnt matter if u used minus or a plus sign.The answer would have came out the same?Thanks for the reply.I have a exam tomorrow and i dont think im ready...but gonna do the best i can.Multiple choice so atleast i can try n get close to the answer and make an educated guess the rest of the way.

Good luck 2 you Wesley!👊🏾

Yo I quit on 2.. I'm a come bac later.. I thi k I need coffee and quiet place

Good luck with your exam Stonn!

+Stonn Arnulff Taglucop Did u passed your exam?

+Jaffer Zaidi sir unfortunately, i did not pass the exam. but learning here is very informative and easy to learn... i answered the math problems i think the i fail in yhe other test like consititution, etc,

Ok best of luck for future

Happy 2 help Dan! Good luck on your test!

I have a test next week, believe me I know what u mean I haven't taken math in a long time and now I finally understand it

Yeah, but that Fallout 4, Destiny and Super Mario Maker though! Lol

Sure Geeta! Just go to www.TutorMeMath.net and setup a paid online tutorial session.

+Geeta Mohammed i know i'm super late but i just had to solve this i love word problems, it's real easy you just have to read between the lines. basically you are finding a sum of two numbers that when you double and add it will be 18 and when you subtract it will be 14. with enough trial and error you may land on the numbers but that may take a while, that's why we have algebra. when you think of doubling the number what do you suppose you do? what is 5 doubled or simply put what is 2 of 5? 5 and 5 is 10. so we can say that 5 doubled is 10. well in arithmetic we say 5 multiplied by 2 which just means 5 two times. so in this case the first number doubled is basically 2 multiplied by an unknown number or 2n. then it asks you to add a second unknown number to that equation we just formed. so 2n + (unknown number), let's call it y. so the equation now is 2n + y. but it doesn't stop there. its says that the final number is 18 and "is eighteen" basically means "equal to" , so 2n + y = 18; and the second equation shouldn't be so far off. its just the inverse of the first equation. 2n - y = 14; you can now work out this equation by using any method in the linear system but with first glance elimination looks easy because the second equation is the inverse of the first equation so when you add the two equations you are left with 4n = 32; when you add a negative to a positive value it becomes zero so its out of the equation. now its becomes easy because all you have to do is isolate n and divide both sides by 4 to get your answer which is 8 so plug that back in to any equation to find y. y = 2 and done is done algebra is awesome. peace!

Hello Jon! The corrected equation (approach) that follows will work each time: 40+x(.10)-[25+x(.15)]=0.

@@FortBendTutoring Ah, the order of operations must be constructed correctly - Thank you.

It should be 5 - 3n. The latter is 3 times the difference of 5 and n.

This video helps with those types of problems: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bKeFnMSXmNbUcp8.html

+Jhastine Mae Aguilar Not at this time. The only one we have is on our online store for factoring quadratic trinomials. Shop.TutorMeMath.net

+Fort Bend Tutoring oh thank you!! u replied so quick hahaha!

I also want to add that whenever possible I try to use the first letter of an item or a person's name to find out the value the word problem is looking for. If problem #3, I used A to represent the number of iPad apps.

Thanks 4 sharing Mike!

+Vbastard Your method is just fine. You're using a system of linear equations and I think you should continue to use your method as it has more benefits in future math concepts.

Me 2! Thanks 4 watching!

Fort Bend Tutoring lol I was wondering if you could do a video on how to solve equations with parentheses

Sure! Like this one? kzfaq.info/get/bejne/abGWm7upuqqrXY0.html

Sorry 2 hear it fiyasparka! I’m sure there is someone out there that you can connect with 4 understanding. Don’t give up the search, there are thousands of us out there teaching math. At least one of them will make sense 2 you. Good luck! 👨🏾‍🏫😁

Thanks! I am.

+kleevens41 This question is incomplete. Are you expected to add, subtract, divide or multiply these numbers to equal 134 or 138.

Fort Bend Tutoring you are adding They didn't specify in the problem. I am just trying to figure what the formula would be to find the answer to these problems.

This is a vague question. I would really need to see the original problem. As it stands there are infinite solutions. For instance, the solution could be 130 and 4 or 138 and -4. Then in the other problem, 135 and 3 or 141 and -3. Unless this problem is to determine your reading comprehension and understanding of integers, there is certainly something missing from the directions/instructions for this problem. One could derive an algorithm that could generate the solutions of this problem, but it certainly doesn't have a standardized formula.

Fort Bend Tutoring I appreciate you looking into it and the statement you have made is logical. Unfortunately I wish I could help more but this was the level of information provided. I will find another problem including more details and send it to you shortly. I do appreciate your patience in finding potential solutions to the problem.

+kleevens41 You're welcome. If possible, send a picture of the problem (preferably from its original source) to FBT@TutorMeMath.net.

+Devonte Mclendon Yes

+Fort Bend Tutoring thank you can you tell me which other lessons are on the asvab

Happy 2 help!

It’s written correctly in the video as all units of measurement were converted into dollars. Therefore, the aforementioned 10¢ is changed to $0.1. Thanks 4 the inquiry!

In order to combine (add or subtract) terms, the exponents on the variables must be identical.

You are incorrect because the ratio is girls to total number of students, not girls to boys. If it were girls to boys it would be 3 to 1 or 3:1.

Word problems are tricky indeed! I appreciate your quick response. Thank you!

You’re welcome Carl.

Then give it back before someone reports the theft! In the future, either ask for y or get a job and buy y for yourself. You'll feel great knowing that you earned y and didn't have to resort to taking y. It's never good to be on the wrong side of the law Abdira'uf!

+Fort Bend Tutoring no actually i'm not good at Eng lang that much sir when i said what if i take y i meant that how the answer is going to be but anyway sir i'm one of your subscribers and i will be all i wanna say is thank you peace all the time... :)

+Trisna Coyle Yes, they can be very challenging. Keep practicing and it will get easier. If you need additional help, we offer paid online tutorials at www.TutorMeMath.net.

I agree! Hopefully this video is a help to you!

+Wa- hey lol We agree!

+xxXDarthGamerXxx Let x = 1st digit and y = 2nd digit. Then, x + y = 9 and (10y +x) - (10x + y) = 9 Simplify the 2nd equation and use your favorite method for solving a system of equations to get the answer.

Interesting…I’ve had similar experiences.
