I'll be honest, I don't pay attention in class because I know for a fact that I'll just come home and watch Fort Bend's Tutoring video about our lesson in Math. The bonus factor is that I will understand in under 15 minutes what my teacher struggles to explain in 50 minutes.
You explain how equations work thoroughly and I love that. Your my favorite person to watch on how to understand different math lessons. I look forward to your future videos. Oh, by the way, I love it when you say "It's time to get my arrows POPPIN'!". Have you discovered why the distributive property is you favorite yet? :)
Hey Fort Bend, thank you so much for this video! It's very straight forward and relaxed. I love your attitude and the way you calmly and cheerfully approach math. Teaches me a few things about how to feel about math, since usually I hate it :P.
You guys are awesome!!! thank you so much for the tutorials. My professor is very confusing and I usually just tune him out after an hour. I am a very visual learner and your videos are so helpful!!
Your the best teacher!!! You make me love math, I thought I would never say that!!! Thank you for doing what you love because you are so great at it!!!!
I love these problems where you need to incorporate other skills (like finding the LCD, factoring, etc.), especially when they make the problem so much easier. It's all coming together and starts to make sense, and I get the idea that all this will be applicable to real world engineering and science solutions. Just think, you might be influencing some young (or older) mind to become the person who saves planet Earth from a swarm of rogue asteroids. (who ya' gonna; call,? Asteroid Busters!) Thank you for this and all your other excellent tutorials. And thanks in advance for saving planet Earth.
Is there a certain way to know for sure if a trinomial will not factor ? And is plugging in the numbers the only way to find out if it will creat a zero in the denominator ? Your videos are and have been a life saver for me and my online math class
+ohyahitserika Yes, there is. Check out our 3-part series on factoring quadratic trinomials. th-cam.com/video/q6_pWifXKcQ/w-d-xo.html Plugging in numbers works best in our experience, but you can also solve for the domain to simplify the process in most cases. th-cam.com/video/yU3Yu9jIjbM/w-d-xo.html
+tao pisten It was to isolate the term with the variable. I used the additive inverse of 10, which is -10, so that I could eliminate that term on the right side of the equal sign.
Question. . . at around 6:08, you are setting the equation to 0. In my calculations, I did so by subtracting 2x from each side. I ended up with an answer identical, but, with the signs reversed. Why wouldn't this work? I subtracted 2x from each side to get 0 on the left, then rearranged the remaining numbers on the right to fit into a quadratic equation... but doing so made the leading coefficient -6 vs positive six, and while this gave me an incorrect answer, I'm curious as to why because I don't see how it broke any "rules"
+Beethoven1111 You can use that process just add the step of dividing or multiplying the equation by -1 which will change the signs. Once that’s done, your leading term will be positive.
I do see what you're saying, however, how would one intuitively know to do that? Because to me, as I'm learning this, I wouldn't have assumed to do that - because when I subtract 2x from each side, then re-arrange to fit within a quadratic equation, I don't see anywhere where I'm messing with anythings positive or negative value. The equation ends up as -6xsquared + x + 1 = 0 I appreciate the reply, it is always nice to see a TH-cam Channel where the talent replies back and interacts with the community.
@@FortBendTutoring Is a more complete answer that: once you reach a point where further factoring is not possible, you check your math tool box for something that could help you continue. In this case over by the 'difference of squares' tool is the 'divide or multiply by (-)' tool. So, while intuition is invaluable this instance doesn't really require it, but more so good process and sound foundation.
Absolutely Jon! Thanks 4 your input! Additionally, we can focus on the goal and that’s solving for a positive variable with a coefficient of one that doesn’t make the original statement undefined.
Sorry 2 hear that! You can either check out this playlist: th-cam.com/play/PL3Ip1JQi4mmLi4KKoLRu9Vd52xbKvJRa4.html or see if another channel helps you understand. Good luck! Also, a one-on-one tutorial with a tutor you understand well may be your best bet.
I'm been trouble by this solving the problems. Can u help me to solve some thing like this d+6/4dsqof2+3/2dsqof2=d+4/2dsqof2? Can u help me to solve this. Pretty please to know the step by step. Reply 🙏
Ok, so my teacher gave us a word problem.... here is similar one ...Bill and Will are brothers who are both taking graduate level art classes. To help pay off their student loans, they decide to sell watercolor replicas of Andy Warhol's art. To produce one piece of work, Bill takes 0.5 hours less than Will. Working together, it takes them 2 hours. Find the time it would take each of them if they worked individually. Round your answers to 2 decimal places. When I do the total time together word problems I get it. But I am un clear how to find individual time. Would the equation be st up 1/t +1.5/t = 1/2
hello mr whitt my idol please make a video about building up a denominator please you are my only hope to learn math easier thank you very much god bless i hope t hat i could be as bright as you

That m you SOOO much I was so stuck doing this on my homework no offense to my teacher but she sucks so yeah you made it much more understandable.
Happy 2 help!
thank you

How do you find the common denominator???
Also how do you know what the common denominator is
Finding the Least Common Denominator (LCD or LCM) [fbt] th-cam.com/video/moLdgkGjrWI/w-d-xo.html
do you cross multiply if there was two different fractions on each side? question is based of your proportion example.
No. However, you can combine each pair of fractions so that you end up with one fraction on each side. After that, you can cross multiply.
I don't understand this rational expression and equation thing. my college professor isn't any help. can you help me ?
Sorry 2 hear that! You can either check out this playlist: th-cam.com/play/PL3Ip1JQi4mmLi4KKoLRu9Vd52xbKvJRa4.html or see if another channel helps you understand. Good luck! Also, a one-on-one tutorial with a tutor you understand well may be your best bet.
Is there a video tutorial of how to check your work after you solved your problem??
No, but plug your answer into the original problem and simplify.
I did and that's a fraction. lol
Ok, as long as both sides of the equal sign are equivalent that's fine. Good luck!
Why did u do positive x(3x+1) on the right side of the equal sign. Why not -x(3x+1)(1/x)(6x/3x+1)? Where did the positive x(3x+1)come from?
I generally will use the positive LCD although multiplying by the negative LCD will also work.
the GOAT
you helped me thannx
Our pleasure Jorge! Thanks 4 watching!
Thanks. :)
Where did he find that 10 that he just divided??
If you’re referring to the first example, he divided 4x by 2x to get 2. Then he multiplied that 2 by the 5 in the numerator to get 10.
My exam is tomorrow and I was absent when they discussed this...nevertheless I understand ittt
none of us want to deal with it.. no no we don't! but we know how to deal with it! words to live by lol

why did you cancel the 4x and 4 ? they are unlike terms
