      Sir, at 24:50 when would you know to do that because possibly there is a xsquared and a x and a number, so couldnt it be a quadratic? i got 12xsquared -8x-6

      One thing I'd say is, if you ever see a fraction, ignore all the algebra to start with and go back to the basic rules of adding and subtracting fractions. Once you have a common denominator everything becomes so much more friendly and straightforward.

      That is absolutely incredible! Personally I think it’s too close to the exams to make the change now, I would prefer to just keep working hard and go into the exam super confident that you will come out with the 5! But don’t let that change your mind if you are set on pushing further, there will be a lot of new topics to learn of-course! 😁🙏🏼

    @fatimaalramahi9944 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    13:42. Wouldn’t you minus the denominator of (x-3) in the fractions like you did with the numerator? Why would they just become only (x-3) instead of cancelling out? I asked the same question on your other video.
    Edit: is it because with normal fractions the denominator stays the same. E.g 5/20 + 6/20 = 11/20?
