How to Solve Simple Linear Equations in Algebra For Dummies

[RedSkyNord]

I bet the narrator is just reading off a script and has no clue how to actually work linear equations either.

[DJCons11]

I dont have a job so why would i buy 6 dozen donuts for people???

[H3ATxCHAINZ]

I know this, but I don't... DA FOQUE?!?!

[Megzillazor]

Uuuuh wut. She's talking too fast and she doesn't spend time explaining why. WHY!?!?!?

[Kashmir358]

I got the first minute or two and then was lost!

[RapidSnake1]

Im in 7th grade and this really helped thank you

[MrTasha46]

I totally agree i still don't get this stuff

[banjirox]

@dude7872002 don't worry.... it's SIMPLE!!!(I'm indian btw....)

k..

eg. 7x=35

7x is in the L.H.S of the equation so..TRANSPOSE IT TO THE R.H.S

on the other side(since 7 is being multiplied) IT WILL DIVIDE 35!

and so..x=35/7

x=5!

[banjirox]

IDIOTS!! You can easily solve the first equation or any other equation using the transposition method..

eg. 20x=170 (like in the first method)

so transpose the constant!

x=170/20(also 17/2)

x=8.5

this lady thinks we can understand her so damm fast

[tejones35]

whaaaa



[AWESOME1324ISCOOL]

I'm gonna kill you if you go faster

[kimandrea8998]

what the helll?!?!! i dont know if she skip or i just dont get her example about donuts? O.o

[AshanDev26]

if this is for dummies....than ima retard......

[jissy1star]

Fucky You

[ivanblanton081]

this helped me so much... but its math... so i had to dislike :(..... sorry..

[808pokebeast]

thanks I took notes on it

[annapinkball]

This is so easy :D is algebra 1 advanced for a 7th grader? Cause i know an 8th grader whos in algebra readiness O.o

[kittylove199]

omg. I am in grade 9 and this is so hard to understand. My teacher told me to first get the same dominator then do the sum. I was just stuck on this question but this has confused more. She is to fast

[marcuseng127]

ANNDDD this is my grade 6 math...

[c0untryfg]

fml

[GirlyGirlxx9]

Cant understand this at all

[Mess1410]

ok so if this is for Dummies , where do I find explenations for an Idiots ?

[wach9191]

"Simple"

MY ASS

[MolimoKuja]

and the multiplcable inverse or whatever is as easy as fliping the fraction and doing the opposite, if multiplying divide and if dividing multiply that fraction to both sides, again to cancle it out and getting that variable by itself

[MolimoKuja]

It's simple, you just do the opposite(if divide,then multiply and vise versa) to both sides to cancle it out, leaving you with the value of the variable.Although these are the simplest form of the equations.

[Fullmoon3512]

How did she get 8.5?

[sassymoe23]

i think she's going to fast at least give me time to think....

[andyroller918]

im so glad this is here cuz i never understood this in high school and now it makes perfect sense thanks so much

[ItEzoOlEsYaTv]

I understand this, but the explaining is so damn confusing x. x

[tetalah]

very good!

[thechipandfipple]

thank god I can do my homework now!!!!

[Krazyness]

usually i understand this but this is a very bad tutorial. its is going too fast for beginners. explanations and numbers are getting crossed out too fast for any beginner to figure out whats going on

[gilbertchickenbone]

brain fart

[davevanfunk]

So these dummies understand terms like multiplicative inverse and reciprocal? (Or to be fair, maybe I'm watching these out of order. In which case they need to be numbered.) I think this would be better if the narrator had plugged the value of the variable back into the equation and proved that the solution was correct.

[motormodsrod]

If you expect anyone to learn any of this, you should slow down and explain why you are doing what you are doing to solve. Still a good job though.

[XpeacheyXful]

I am 11 i am in sixth grade my class is learning about this and I don't really get this NEED HELP

[MegaTechnoboi]

go an suck prick buh "for dummies" u are the dummie

[ohyeapal]

me like donut.

[TheSheepFactory]

wow... even 11 year olds can solve these "problems"

[naomiLong2010]

[MrAverageViewer]

Explanation could use a lot more clarity. The speaker on the video assumes that "for dummies" viewers already know what certain terminology means. She also doesn't explain the rationale of why it must be computed a certain way.  I recommend checking out KhanAcademy Far better explanation, but the graphics aren't as good.

[Ammyy95]

if this is for dummies i must be pretty thick cos i still dont get it :')

[hollylynnfaith]

your not alone, i think it's kind of lame for this to be considered for dummies. some people just can't figure out math. my whole life ive deeply focused on math and tried so hard, and i just cant comprehend it in my head. like when the teacher does a problem on the bored, it makes sense..but when it comes down to solving on my own...i cant do it .

i cannot understand how to do this stuffff.

[w0mblemania]

I must be incredibly stupid because I don't understand any of this.

[Joseline798]

@w0mblemania I totally agree, it looks so darn simple and at the end im still like what the??? I dont like math, but its a class I totally have to pass this year!

[theaustralianis]

@w0mblemania Yea you must be.



[c0untryfg]

@w0mblemania

[SamuelMoseleyIsFreak]

@w0mblemania this is so fucking easy, her method is so much more complicated as well.

[jamesvhawk]

im with you guys its crazy!

[lilmiss141]

I don't get the simplifying bit at the end? 

[dude7872002]

it is not simple i still dont understand it

[DEVAXTATOR]

this is simple cmon explain trigonometry.
