I have watched a ton of math videos in order to learn the basics. I am 68 and its been over a half century since I was in school. You teaching method is finally allowing some light into my clouded brain. I love you AC method !!!....Thank you, Thank you, Thank you....
I am a fifty year old woman who is going to back to College. Math is my hardest subject but finding you has been a blessing. Thank you for doing what you do. You're amazing. You're intro's are never boring! They always give me a good laugh. lol.....
It's a sign of the times. People value that piece of paper saying you did something at a college rather than look at experience. Refreshing knowledge and skills is also important in keeping up with a changing economy/work environment. Great work ladies, keep it up!
Mr. Whitt comes thru again! Revisiting algebra after 50 years I had to bounce around a lot to find someone who could explain it in a way I understand. Thank you!!
Thank you for showing me this method! I was stumped by the method the professor was teaching, then stumped furthermore by the technique the math lab tutor was trying to employ. I watched this 1 time and totally understand. You are the man, Mr. Whitt! I am now a permanent subscriber!
I feel like jumping out of my chair and doing the 'dance of understanding'. lol! For the first time ever, I don't feel like I'm just muddling/guessing way through math. I can't imagine how I would have gotten through this semester w/o your help. You are such a gifted instructor. Our educational system desperately needs an army of Mr. Whitts. Bless you, Sir.
I️ have a completely illiterate teacher devoid of any coherent English speaking ability, so in class it’s always hell trying to keep up with those who can easily understand her native tongue. These tutorials are a refuge for me from that unnecessary nuisance; thank you for doing what you do. 🙏🙏🙏
YOU ARE SO AWESOME! I'm a math teacher and I just started using your work as a resource. I will be purchasing your book in August when I return to work. Thank you so much for all that you do. You are such a Blessing!!!
Hello Angie! Thanks 4 your kind words! Please keep me informed if any other videos are helpful 2 you and your class. Good luck in your upcoming school year fellow math teacher!
You are amazing ! I'm learning maths to help my son , we both aren't good at maths but after watching your videos I'm loving it . You have made it so easy . Thank's a lot . God bless you
Thank you so much for your help!!!! My 13 year old really enjoys your videos and the way you explain the problems. He said he wishes you were his math teacher he likes your attitude. Thanks again
When I say I love your video's, I'm a 44 yr old that is attending college, and math is my only struggle, polynomials, Trinomials,etc are things i've never seen or heard of before, I'm sitting in class and the teacher is working problems but I don't have a clue to what she is doing, but in the back of my head, I'm thinking, I'm going to go home and get on youtube, N look for Mr, Whitt...lol, Cause I know he will teach me, I have just watch both video's and I know what I'm doing thanks to you.
Mr Whitt is the good lords blessing to the betterment of mankind, may God bless you for sharing your gifts with us all. much love and appreciation to you Sir.
I have a test after spring break, and I'm going to ACE, due to you, thanks for your video's you are so clear and precise, you break everything down and make it so simple, you are a true Blessing...Pray you continue helping us!!!
Finally I was able to understand all this!!! You make it so easy to understand, if I had you as a teacher when I was in school and now in college I couldn't dislike math. Once again thank you!
Hello Prof. Whitt, I apologize for misspelling your name. Thanks for helping those of us who struggle with math. As you mentioned we are intellegent beings although at times we need a different perspective on the subject and that you do supply.
I just realize how far easy this stuff is compared to what my teacher taught me - THE TIME CONSUMING GUESS AND CHECK METHOD. lol. Two thumbs up for you Mr. Whitt.
Hello again Daniel! Make sure you don't miss any problems regarding this concept tomorrow. Your accuracy will truly show how much you have absorbed. Good luck!
Sir, I have watched several other videos on this topic, and they are all a far second from this one that you present. I like it when you go step 1, step 2, etc. Always the same way. No meandering off topic. Your pace is about perfect. Thanks.
This is beautiful. Beautiful. Where have you been all my life. I have three weeks before I head into Algebra 2 and I actually feel like I can make it now. THANK YOU.
Mr.Whitt I really wish you were my math teacher, my teacher explains the same stuff to us in class, the same procedures and everything but for some reason (I don't know if its the way she explains it) It's so complicated to get. But when I come to your videos I get everything in less than 5 minutes thanks a lot Mr.Whitt
Thank you for all the help you provide for your students. N you are a blessing for all the one that take the time and want to learn . I Always Look at your videos because I know I will understand right away. THANK YOU
Im an 8th grade student and this is very helpful, I actually watched this because I needed to know quadratic equations before plunging into the division of rational expressions which pretty...I had...Lets say I got a 0/5 quiz which i am very bad about but everything makes perfect sense after I watched this and The Rational expressions video :D THANK YOU SO MUCH im ready to take that exam :D
Awesome! Trial and error method is something I wan to try get more skilled at enough to be comfortable with but this New AC method makes it a lot more easier to factor.
I have Algebra for Dummies and Idiot's Algebra, checked Purple Math but all left me stumped. I knew there had to be a better way and found it with Mr. Whitt! Thank you!
I love your videos; they are so clear. Also, I appreciate the many examples. Do you have a video that explains how to handle a negative leading coefficient or could you explain how to do that? Thanks!
U cant realise how in the world u saved my life really thats so much easier my professor just make it soo dumb teacher and way more in a rush way Love and greetings from ksa
math is soo confusing to me...and to this day I still having trouble as I did back in school. but you have shed some light on how it can be done to simply things and make someone like me understand. than you
First off, long time listener, first-time caller and I love your shows! is there a possible way of seeing them in order some how? So one could watch them as you would teach them in school? Factoring as an example, no point in watching Factoring Quadratic Trinomials when you don't know what a trinomial is... That way it would keep folks on the right path instead of backtracking. Thanks!!
+Trevor Anderson Our Algebra playlist is the best answer we have at this time. However, there are more playlist designed to encourage mastery of different aspects of mathematics. th-cam.com/play/PLA9E4E2E94F98266E.html
This problem is not factorable as it's written. If the problem was x^2 + 3xy + 2y^2, it could be factored. Check out problem 4 in this video for the process.
Love your videos. I'm curious WHY this method works. In Example 1, you start with 3m^2 - 4m - 4, but then end up multiplying binomials (m - 6)(m + 2). These 2 binomials are not equivalient to the original. I guess my question is WHY are we able to temporarily get rid of the leading coefficient of 3? Thanks in advance!
Hey Mr. Whitt! It's Daniel here and I liked example two because you wont let me say number one. Just kidding, but I can only say that number one helped me understand the concept while the other examples just added repetition which is helpful.
Was going to suggest that you put your workbook on Amazon (through their CreateSpace program) . They print on demand, and it won't cost you anything to sell the book through them, but that way people can order a copy of your book right on Amazon.
Great idea! Thanks 4 sharing! Until then, you can instantly receive a copy by going to our store at Shop.TutorMeMath.net and print them whenever you like.

Only this method as in part one you would be dividing by 1 so it’s not necessary.
I have watched a ton of math videos in order to learn the basics. I am 68 and its been over a half century since I was in school. You teaching method is finally allowing some light into my clouded brain. I love you AC method !!!....Thank you, Thank you, Thank you....

wishing you success, I'm 62 doing the same
I'm obviously late at replying to both your comments, but I'm wondering why you guys have to go back to College though?
It's a sign of the times. People value that piece of paper saying you did something at a college rather than look at experience. Refreshing knowledge and skills is also important in keeping up with a changing economy/work environment.
Great work ladies, keep it up!
This is college im still in 8th grade....
Returning to college after 20 years. Your videos are the only ones that really explain in a way I understand! Thank you, thank you!!!!!!
That's fantastic news Vanessa! Happy 2 help!

THXS your a great teacher/tutor I am still somewhat confused of a trinominal x2+3xy+2y can you help se this problem up for me?
This problem is not factorable as it's written. If the problem was x^2 + 3xy + 2y^2, it could be factored. Check out problem 4 in this video for the process.
i would strongly recommend this tutorial for JHS - math leaners.
+vyacheslav Kalontarov Thanks 4 your recommendation!
Very nice video. I'm gonna use it to help my 8th & 9th graders in Algebra I.
+John Cox Thanks 4 the feedback John! Tell your students I said hello!
brilliant,this is so simple for simple person.
love it!! It's so easy to understamd
I am confused on why around 6:30 the 2nd power on the y just goes away. 4y^2 + 5y -6
Daphnie Robertson oops nevermind I get it. I was just accustomed to using the x. You do open the double ( ) and add y to each on giving it the y^2
Happy 2 help!
you're fabulous teacher .
Thanks so much!
Amazing presentation as always 👌🏽💯
Thanks Alexus! Glad to help!

Was going to suggest that you put your workbook on Amazon (through their CreateSpace program) . They print on demand, and it won't cost you anything to sell the book through them, but that way people can order a copy of your book right on Amazon.
Great idea! Thanks 4 sharing! Until then, you can instantly receive a copy by going to our store at Shop.TutorMeMath.net and print them whenever you like.
8:23 You are right! It is GREAT STUFF!!!
Hi. Does this method work if the "a" is negative, or do you have to factor out a -1 from the whole equation first?
+chilohwink It does, but factor out -1 to match solutions in your text and for a cleaner look.
thank you so much, you taught it better than my teacher
on minute 10:18 you forgot to tell us how you got 9/2b and 1/2b. can you explain that please.
Sure, reduce 18/4b and 2/4b by 2 (divide the numerator and denominator by 2 in each fraction). All fractions must be simplified.
Fort Bend Tutoring But wait how did you got the 2 ??? pls answer me fast
The remaining denominator (2) is placed in front of the variable.
