- Algebra is where we substitute a letter (called a pronumeral) to make equations (and even maybe solve them). Algebra isn't hard - if you know the basics. This math lesson looks all at the basics of algebra.

As an adult who is mathematically illiterate, I am fortunate indeed for people like yourself who have taken the time to share your knowledge with us online. It is appreciated very much!

It's easy to slip through public schools without much of an education. You merely have to show up some of the time.
8yerbrain Freaking dang straight. Not everybody can learn math well. Heck 4 out of 3 people suck at math...see what I did there lol ;) but for real, I floated through high school and graduated. Never could learn math well. These videos have helped me more in the past 30 minutes of just watching them more than all my years in school till I graduated.
Freckle Drew, it can't be four out of three if some people are good at math.
actually i can't see what you did there im sarcastically blind
literally coulda said thanks
Dear Algebra, Stop asking us to find your x. Because she's never coming back. Don't ask y.
That one was a pretty good joke!
Gillian Lingo BAHAHAHAHAHA that's sooo truuu
OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Jams ARMYYYY
cool
i have a math exam tomorrow and this legit helped me understood everything my teacher had confused me about for 3 months!! thank you so much for this
Is it me or do some public school teachers suck at explaining??
I think teaching math is probably harder than teaching other subjects. It's very hard to explain something like algebra that makes sense to a bunch of school kids.
i agree with u
Maybe you suck at understanding
They don't teach at all. They're just sitting there and collecting money from the government.
Baghuul You are right, I absolutely hate going to public school.
It's 2am. I'm supposed to be studying for my University torts law exam. I haven't studied any maths in 3 years. Idk why I'm here; but I enjoyed the algebra refresher.
It’s always good to refresh your brain with some maths :)
Here because I generally SUCK at maths.

I have my end of year maths exam today and I've been stuck on how to do algebra for a while now, now I get it. Thank you!
Very hard question-
2b
or not 2b, that is the question.
2b?
2b as in to be
yoda i think or something
2b or not 2b
=
to be or not to be
2b or not 2b and size matters not idk
I know im late on this but ...
To be, or not to be, that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take Arms against a Sea of troubles,
And by opposing end them: to die, to sleep
No more; and by a sleep, to say we end
the heart-ache, and the thousand natural shocks
that Flesh is heir to? 'Tis a consummation
devoutly to be wished. To die, to sleep,
To sleep, perchance to Dream; aye, there's the rub,
for in that sleep of death, what dreams may come,
when we have shuffled off this mortal coil,
must give us pause. There's the respect
that makes Calamity of so long life:
For who would bear the Whips and Scorns of time,
the Oppressor's wrong, the proud man's Contumely, [F: poor]
the pangs of despised Love, the Law’s delay, [F: disprized]
the insolence of Office, and the spurns
that patient merit of the unworthy takes,
when he himself might his Quietus make
with a bare Bodkin? Who would Fardels bear, [F: these Fardels]
to grunt and sweat under a weary life,
but that the dread of something after death,
the undiscovered country, from whose bourn
no traveller returns, puzzles the will,
and makes us rather bear those ills we have,
than fly to others that we know not of.
Thus conscience does make cowards of us all,
and thus the native hue of Resolution
Is sicklied o'er, with the pale cast of Thought,
And enterprises of great pitch and moment, [F: pith]
with this regard their Currents turn awry, [F: away]
And lose the name of Action. Soft you now,
The fair Ophelia? Nymph, in thy Orisons
Be all my sins remember'd.
Good
This channel is fab my mom actually told me about this and I love your accent you make maths easy and kind of fun for me thanks a bunch mate 😁 😊
This has taught me more than I have learned in months of studying. Thank you !
Tried doing my GCSE math at school and failed every time really badly , thought math was just impossible for me . So After I finished my alevels , I really needed math to do anything . So I went to a local college one night a week for 6 months and used this channel to revise and refresh topics I found difficult . So I did the exam again and finally got a C . Don’t know why but at school I found that I learned nothing but a smaller class at the college and help from TH-cam videos made me feel reasonably comfortable and confident when doing the exam . Huge thanks for these kind of videos !
im having an algebra test tommorow, pray for me
Syafirah roger I got one tomorrow to
I pray xD
Syafirah roger how did you guys do?
not so great xd
Syafirah roger *prays* little to late? xD I have one in a week. Yes Christmas..... well the day after. It's in the pc.
My 1st grade math teacher: math is all about numbers!
me now: *sees letters in math*
my brain: *wut my math teacher is a lier!*
HAHAHA
Lol
lier?
sounds like bruce from nemo

"Aside from school work, where is algebra used in a daily life?" (no reply button) In doing many things. Programming and web design uses variables and formulas to parse outputs from a database. Even simple apps you can make will store user data in variables and parsed by the app. The only difference is that in programming, variables have names like "DB_unit_value". Scriptmaking can make your life much easier in the modern age. Understanding the underlying math also makes analyzing statistical data far easier and you'll discover a lot more than what SPSS will normally show you. Engineering uses a lot of it. All the hard sciences also use it extensively. Even the humanities disciplines, such as sociology, now use a lot of formulas in literature. Most high-paying jobs require an extensive math knowledge. Engineer majors are doing far better out of college than a history major. Many people fear the math, so they settle for liberal arts degrees. Learn it now the best you can and it will become easier for you and you won't have to settle later on.
Krozar TAL I think it took longer you writing this than my teacher took to teach me 2+2=4-1=3 get the joke
I make programs and games and you don't need algebra. Plus, you said daily. I'm pretty sure normal people don't code or script. So yeah, algebra is useless
. but its fun
@@awsumguy Algebra can help you a lot in physics and other science subjects
@@kellanfeng but like he said, not everyone need that and job interviews throw at you these stuff
Oh my gosh...thank you so very much. It has taken me 25yrs to get it. God bless you.
tecmath for president!!!
Love these videos, I'm looking at returning to education after 6 years away and I'm shocked at how much basic maths I've managed to forget. Your videos are really helping me refresh myself!
Dude, you actually make this stuff fun to do
Tecmath you are always so relaxed about the math.
I tried everything to learn this stuff until I found your channel. Thankfully, I graduated community college 2 years ago because of your videos. If it wasn't for your lessons, I would still be stuck in remedial classes. I am so grateful and words cannot express. Thank You ... Thank You ... Thank You !!! You are the King👑

omg i was about to give up but you and this video is giving me some hope!
your videos are brilliant and im in the middle of big exams and your videos are my maths study thank you so much i got a good grade for my christmas exam and i hope to get one for my summer exams.
I missed so much from you. How come I never come across your tutorials earlier on? Your tutorials on algebra have been so much helpful since I came across them. I can't praise you much enough. Thank you so much. I am now able to teach algebra to my 7th and 8th Graders with ease. Thanks again.
I find it less confusing to write a '.' (dot) for the MULTIPLY sign than a ''x' (cross) as you can end up with multiple crosses everywhere!
+monsterjazzlicks
thanks for the comment....
I have just started doing the same thing for the reason you say. So much easier!
tecmath Cheers Tecmath, I am new to Algebra and Maths in general (hence I am a late-starter). Thanks.
i was taught to use an asterisk
Professor Ozpin Well your the Professor so I won't be arguing with you! ;-)
monsterjazzlicks heh, not a real professor. Its a RWBY reference :P
Your videos are a huge help. Thanks!
Thank you!! I'm just starting high school, and I didn't understand algebra at all, you gave me an idea on how to do simple equations. Thank you again
Only half way through this video and it's really helping me. Thank you.
you make it a way easier than any of my teachers do!
This was so much held for me!! Thank you!!
I haven't done algebra for a long time and I forgot a little bit, only when I meet this question, like this: 8y x 9x, but thanks to you, who gave my memory back, I now remember how to do that type of that equation.
The best tutorial on algebra I have seen so far. This is perfect for my current skill set. I hope the degree of difficulty increases gradually!
Dear math, please stop asking us to find your x. shes never coming back.
Yeah and we don't know y
Too much cheese lol.
😂😂😂
Funnt you people steal the comment i posted on the same channel from 4 years ago... great effort to pretend you're original...
Lol
I can not thank you enough for this. Made my life so much easier 👏🏻
Thank you. I lost my fundamental when I was grade six. The way you explain, easy to understand.
Man you are a life saver i used to score such low grades and in the spring exams i scored 90 in math I
Why aren't you my teacher????
Yeah, my teacher has tried for months and I still don't understand her explanation. But I understood the first time I watched this video. They also teach overcomplicated techniques that you're never going to use...
Miss Cakelyn I agree! I believe that the simpler the better and if the teacher makes it with some comical jokes, the lesson becomes very entertaining to learn it and that is how I got my As in my CUNY exam because I had a comical professor that a right amount of balance of jokes and lessons and time for questions and practices on board made it much more easier for me to have learned it after several tries with different professors that as mentioned make it kind of boring and tedious and it's really hard to learn this in that pattern. If algebra is taught with simplicity then everything else would be less complicated. :) Hang in there, ...you too WILL A's YOUR ALGEBRAIC PROBLEMS , TOO :D just don't give up, alright? ;D

Thanks so much it jogged my memory just in time for my y8 yearly.
Incredibly easy to follow. Your a great teacher. Thank you!
Legit just watched an online maths class I’ve gone back to studies to finish my year 12 and literally couldn’t understand the lecturers or the study notes I have I’m not even 5 minutes into this video and you’re making more sense
I learned this in 15 minutes unlike a teacher taking 1 hour and a half.
Chambers1831 right? my teacher took like what? a whole hour to explain this while i learned this in the video in 10 minutes so I don't get why the schools make teachers explain things in like an hour when they could take 10-19 minutes
nobody cares
Bob stevee shut up I do it's called learning fast
@@bobstevee7999 someone’s jealous they can’t learn algebra fast 🥺🥺
Helped me out so ducking much thank you
This is really helpful I use to watch math antics but sometimes I’ll get confused watching that but this helps because u break everything down in explain it correctly I’m having really bad problems with algebra but this is giving me hope
This was really helpful and I learned alot in just under 19 minutes while school takes me up to 2 or 3 hours just to learn these kind of topics thanks alot this has helped me understand algebra a bit better.
thank you I finally understand it, well there is more to learn :)
Thank you so much for this channel, my teacher makes it so confusing!.
Love Your Teaching Man... Keep Up The Great Work...
Seriously... Thank you... Fantastic explanation and guide through.... Best regards and stay safe..... All the way from the UK
you are too good, I have to subscribe to your channel, I remember everything, by just looking at your video...
TiFi Pasté-a u are famous
You need to make allot more videos. You explain things very well.
You are the best. Very simple and Crystal clear
its great how you go over the examples more than once it gives a better impact on learning. You also show great examples for us to do that not many math channels at all do alll they do is explain what it is this is way better thumbs up
Good video, but you should of used the Dot for multiplication instead of another x. It gets confusing to look at when you do
(6x x x 3 x y) at 10:40 . But like I said good video.
Agreed.
Me too.
he's not using 3 x's he's using the greek symbol chi for the 6chi x 3chi... observe and learn... a dot is not multiply to distinguish for the ignorant and confused how about a *
You are my new teach ^_^ :P
thank you!!!!!! I never understood letters as numbers until now thank you so much!
You have great pace and tone for teaching. Keep them up!!
Is it just me or do I learn better when being taught by an Australian teacher!? I find it riveting when I hear somebody say "G'day Mate" XD
Amber Irvine me to! xD
I learned that math is nothing but memory
then you learned nothing

And numbers?
explains why i am so terrible at it
Ogknowledge loool
Starting prep course for uni, very simplistic explanation on how to understand algebra, thank you.
Thank you man, I love your channel. Thanks for all you're help, you've really helped me in College :D
It's true he explains it so well LOVE IT thank you.
:D thank you
Thank you so much for the videos im taking my asvab in 2 weeks and was scared that I wouldnt get the math portion but your videos help me greatly
You explain things perfect for me to understand, thank you!!
Hi
, thanks for your video, in a long expression there too many signs of addition and subtraction, how do I figure out whether it's addition or subtraction. Here is an expression I am confused with.
4a-5a+b-2b+2a=
Answer I had was:
3a+b
In the text book the answer is:
a-b
Thanks
Fajol Miah For a question like 4a-5a+b-2b+2a, to answer this you group like terms. Don't worry about whether you are adding or subtracting yet, just group like terms...So for (a) we have +4a, -5a, and +2a. Put these together to get 1aFor (b) we have +b and -2b. Put these together to get 1bSo the answer is a + b.
The answer is a-b not a+b 😂
Fajol Miah follow formula: P.E.M.D.A.S. P=Parenthesis, E=Exponent, M=Multiplication, D=Division, A=Addition, S=Subtraction. Whatever order you see it coming first , follow this formula. I hope this works. I actually got 1a -1b.
tecmath wouldnt the answer be 80a3b2
To what problem is this solution of ?
6th grade class be like
things I learnt in school year: who to camp in toilet to skip class
in this video: algebra actual algebra not school one like x+1=2 what is x?
Why am I relating so hard right now
same over here
This is really useful, having a lot of trouble in math right now and this is helping.
You gave me a chance to see maths in a different light and I love maths now thank you for your videos.
When ur in grade 6 and is really dumb at maths so U have to learn everything before you fail and go to high school.
YESSS THATS WHY IM WATCHING THISSSS............................................... Im dumb😑😑😑😑😐😐😐😐
PS im in grade 6
im not even in sixth grade but i just want to get ahead , that's why im watching this vid XD....people in my class say that im a robot because im too ahead ;)
P= 5x - 2y
Work out the value of P when x= 3 and y= -4
stuck please help.. :(
Chloe Prior P= 5x - 2y Work out the value of P when x= 3 and y= -4Break it into parts,5x means 5 times x. If x = 3, then 5 x 3 = 152y means 2 times y. If y = -4, then 2 x -4 = -8P= 5x - 2y = 15 - -8 (15 minus negative eight!) = 15 + 8 = 23
I'm sorry you just made it confusing tecmath ;) All you have to do is find p's value. Since P is by itself everything on the right added, subtracted, multiplied, and divided is your answer!
J dover hey are you good at maths you can help me to learn algebra coz i really need help plzz if you can??
Hey Kevin I can help you
I'm a grade A+ student 7th best in Australia
This has really helped with 7th grade maths. Thank you your teaching is patient and methodical!
This video was so helpful! Thank you!
Aside from school work, where is algebra used in a daily life?
+Maria Vargas go find the documentary video about The Math Mystery.
Let's say that if it wasn't for math, you wouldn't have posted that comment...
You cracked it, society´s smartest people have been trying to push the frontier of math for more then 2000 years but you sir, you are above them, you figured out its all for nothing and its just bs,. What a genius!
I think you need to learn algebra at least. It's just a shame they don't teach logic in sub tertiary education.
You say you don't need math, you might be right, since there are so many jobs now where you don't have to. But guess what created those jobs, or your phone, or your computer, or electricity, or internet, or your stove, or your microwave, or your car. Pretty much any technological advancement you know.
How dare you say math is useless, only someone who is scientifically illiterate would utter those words. Be grateful for people that learned the subject so you can have a comfortable life.
Literally all you need in life is to master percentages, division, multiplication, addition, and subtractions .-. Percentages can be many different things like decimals, fractions, and shopping
HOW ON EARTH IS TECMATH NOT MY TEACHER!!!??
Bad luck i guess
Best instruction I've found. Very helpful video.
Great help for my exams dunno what I would do without you
G’day mate👍😂😂
Roses are red
Violets are blue
I just got a like
Wait why is it blue
you are literally better than my maths teacher, I was struggling with algebra until I found this video, I have a lot more knowledge now ty!
Thanks mate! This helped me a lot!
+tecmath Are you a teacher by chance? If not you should be.
Professor Ozpin our class thinks he may be our teacher due to how similar they sound and the fact that they both do maths very well

It’s so it’s doesn’t get confused with the times symbol
Your handwriting is so neat and you explained it so well. I've got SATS tomorrow and sometimes algebra is in it. Our teacher refuses to teach algebra and this video really helped. Thank you.
I have learned more from this video about algebra then from school. Thx for making this video I really appreciate it.
I am in 4th Grade and i get this. What grade is this maths for anyways.
sec 2 at my school lol yeach us calculus
Mr.Pony Gamer Plus wtf is What grade is math(s) for anyways.
Now go learn your grammar because it sucks
I'm in grade 6 lol and we learn this my mum says she learnt it in highschool 😂😂
U don't get this. U don't get your grammar either
Why isn't 3x-2x=1x? Why just x???????
1x = x
Because you only have 1 x. 1x = x, because x*1= x.
Kim Childers Good question because I questioned myself the same. :) I hope it is explained :)
Umm the answer is actually 2x
X is any integer. It is used mostly in algebra these letters to understand and solve algebraic math problems. It's made this way to help people use more the mind in solving math. I hope this helps you. God bless you....and don't stop, don't give up in learning algebra. Take it from me....it's very hard at the beginning but once you master the concept of algebra you'll love it so much that all you want to do is algebra math all the time...believe me! It's true...just study as much as you can & soon before you know it you'll know how to do these algebraic expressions in math :) Again, hoping that this advice from me helps you :) GOOD LUCK! :D
Thank you so much like I almost literally have tears... Lol I thought I would never ever understand algebra. You sir are a genius. Thank you for breaking it down for me. I try to listen and work out questions every other day so it will stick.
Great video. Helped me a lot.
why? just why? if you can use number and just numbers why do we need letters, i hate algerba
It's for solving the UNKNOWN! Thats what it is/does!
Y just Y?
How long is a piece of string? We don't know so we call it X.

Thank you so much your a savior I have a test tomorrow and I didn’t have a clue about algebra
Dear algebra you have been keep in telling to find x but she is nowhere to be found!and dont ask y ...
DaddyDongo you copied somebody.
mmmmmmkay?
Basic idea of algebra, but very essential ones. Learnt a lot from this video. The way you present the lesson make it looked so easy. The explanation also very smooth and easy to follow. Thank you very much.
Thanks man this helped heaps big ups to you
Cannot understand what you are saying!
