Thank you so much, I love this channel. You are the best sir. My favorite tutor/teacher. I love you I passed my algebra exam and passed with a B. I'm so excited. Thank you Mr. Whitt.
HEY SIR! I JUST WANNA SAY THAT IYS MY FINALA TOMORROW AND YOU REALLY HELP ME A LOT, BEFORE I WATCHED UR VIDEO, I DIDNT UNDERSTAND ANYTHING BOUT WORD PROBLEMS BUT AFTER WATCHING IT. IM RELIEVED!,THANKS SO MUCH SIR!,U DESERVE MORE SUBSCRIBERS !
Thank you so much. I’m in sixth grade honors math and I’m struggling with 2-step word problems there is so much information in them and I was having so much trouble so I looked it up on safari and even on TH-cam and I finally found something to help me understand. I hope I pass my quarter exam tomorrow.
You can actually sharing the videos to your friends and then your friends will tell your friends and your friends from your friends will tell their friends and those friends are going to tell their friends and so on! 😁😂🤷♂️😂
Hi Mr Whitt can you help me put this into 2 equations. I think of two numbers.If I double the first number and add the second number I get 18.If I double the first number and subtract the second number I get 14.What are the numbers? Thanks soooo much
+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!
This is probably the hardest thing that I had with math is word problems and I still and having trouble following you good video but I'm still having trouble
+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,
Hello Mr Whitt im new here.I love how clean and simple you make the translation of word problems.I still have awhile to go to get the hang of, when,what,or how to write the equation to even begin to solve.🤦🏾♂️.I get lost very easy.On problem two.You said,you could use x - 18 or × + 18, but you'll choose the latter.But WHY did u choose the later?I dont know when to add or subtract on both sides.
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.
Correct me if i'm wrong. But your solution to the problem in 13:35 is incorrect. The formula should be: 3x + 4x = 28 ; 7x = 28; x = 4 Therefore, there are 12 girls and 16 boys when you plug in x = 4. This can be proven by getting the ratio of 12/16 which is 3:4, the original ratio. 21/7 can't be the answer because it is equivalent to 3.
Respecting your opening instruction of one equation one variable I attempted to solve problem 4 with the equation 40+x(.10)-25+X(.15) = 0 . I got the same answer, and I think decimals are kind of cute, but is doing the problem this way a valid approach, or am I just setting myself up for difficulty solving other problems of this type?
Hi Mr. Whitt, how would you answer the following question. I looked at the video but it did not answer my question on non-consecutive integers. How would you set up the following question: Find two non consecutive even integers equal to 134. Find two non consecutive odd integers equal to 238.
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.
Translating algebraic phrases can be kind of tricky or confusing sometimes. For instance, how do you translate the phrase "three times a number less than five"? Is it 5 - 3n? Or is it 3(5 - n)?, or is it another expression other than these two? The reason why I get confused is because the word "times" usually refers to both variables like n, and parenthesises like ( ). If I can get any helpful advice, I would appreciate. Your videos are helpful by the way.
The second one: I used X - 18 = Y & 2x + 3y = 21 then 2(Y + 18) + 3Y = 21 So 5y + 36 = 21 and 5y = -15 so Y = -3 X = 15 Am i making more work for myself going about it this way?
+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.
Usually when a, constant is more or less than a quantity times a number, I always write the second part of the word problem first for consistency in these types of word problems.
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.
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!
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.
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!

+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.
Its ok, but i think the tutor goes too fast on the translating part of the problem and not deep enough as to why, he is obviously very good at this so it must seem very easy to him, and no the pause option is not really viable, since he simply does not explain well enough the problem

Hi Mr Whitt can you help me put this into 2 equations.
I think of two numbers.If I double the first number and add the second number I get 18.If I double the first number and subtract the second number I get 14.What are the numbers?
Thanks soooo much
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!
I wish i found you before i faild my asvab 3times before this is going to be my 4th time you gave me faith i can do math

Correct me if i'm wrong. But your solution to the problem in 13:35 is incorrect. The formula should be: 3x + 4x = 28 ; 7x = 28; x = 4 Therefore, there are 12 girls and 16 boys when you plug in x = 4. This can be proven by getting the ratio of 12/16 which is 3:4, the original ratio. 21/7 can't be the answer because it is equivalent to 3.
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.

Hi Mr. Whitt, how would you answer the following question. I looked at the video but it did not answer my question on non-consecutive integers. How would you set up the following question:
Find two non consecutive even integers equal to 134. Find two non consecutive odd integers equal to 238.
+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.

You're welcome Candy! Thanks 4 watching!
Its ok, but i think the tutor goes too fast on the translating part of the problem and not deep enough as to why, he is obviously very good at this so it must seem very easy to him, and no the pause option is not really viable, since he simply does not explain well enough the problem
anyone here for the ASVAB? i can solve any equation , but can't write the equation to save my life!
+Wa- hey lol We agree!
