(Note to self:) Step1: Factor anything that is factor-able. and its a 108 i think *-)

you have 10 kinds of people:

those who understand math and those who don't

[corpus26]

I honestly don't know much but I'm taking my SAT's for my Senior year (is that good anyways?) because I'll feel better knowing that I'll have more experience but man, I easily figured this one out. 35 :)

[sugarcoated122]

wow ok thanks for your help. i spent like 10 minutes trying to solve it before; i always overthink these simple problems.

[HoneyPatchworks]

@sugarcoated122 Story of my life :) once I heard him say "factor" I was like ooohh!

[MultiSamism]

The homework one is 108

[britt6140]

this is kind of easy

[ShipMonster]

I got 21 for the second problem. Is that correct?

[mathproblems]

@ShipMonster the correct answer is 18x6=108

[Acontador13]

@ShipMonster that was a awful guess

[Storiesfreak]

that's so easy and I'm in middle school. :)

[s0ccerFreakTT]

this is really easy

[swisscheesepotatochi]

35...

[supremekiller11]

you are really fucked up

[skotous21]

So easily I solve it, and I didnt have to write it down..

[iKingDeathi]

damnnnnnn i didnt even see that lol

[AMbeats]

Great Teaching.. Shubash.

[PMsuperboy]

For me the answer is 2..

since xy = 7 and x-y = 5

then, x2y = 16 >> why? because i multiplied 7 into two so the answer is 14 and there is a remaining y in x2y so i added two so the final answer is 16.. and obviously xy = 7 and there is a square on it.. so it will give us the result of 14... and here it is.. 16 -14 = 2..

i am not really good in mathematics,, and i hate math too..

so correct me if im wrong.. this is just my dumbass answer :P please do

[lfroggyl]

@PMsuperboy Its too complicated too understand your answer here. But I'm pretty sure you are doing an operation you cannot do

[Chickenhero0]

@PMsuperboy I also got 2...

[beachballa93]

Jesus christ that is incredibly easy. I would have never thought of that though.

[MasterThief1324]

Is it a wrong approach or is it meticulous?

[carlosyt2]

no joke....very easy...=]

[cHiNcHiA14]

you poo

[TheWirow]

way to easy !!

[anyvydeos]

eeeeaaassssyyy

[nbkkns]

guys just take 7x7 = 49 that mean's it's under 49 then 5x5 = 25 that mean's that it is ower 25 and = D) 35

[icdeadpeople]

Wow thanks, i was trying to do the substitution that you said we would do!

[slashhatim]

thats the easiest shit in the world

[xxxnawakiixxx]

This isnt even that hard...this is coming from a 12yr old... What do u people even do in school? make a comment on my channel..if u even care :o

[peos07]

wht the hell? this is really easy.. anyone can solve it in 2 secs

[watcheem]

oh SNAP!

[Pivotsallit]

dude that's easy as shit

[NumberThirteen7]

No wonder my Algebra teacher stressed factoring so much.... This video helped a lot! Going into sophomore year this school year and I'm doing everything I can to get ready for "the big test".

[MeekMaestro]

wow

[lawlerzftwtf]

lol the way you attach a problem really makes a difference

[lawlerzftwtf]

oops i meant "attack"

[elantai23]

GENIOUS!!!

[CaptainGreenFlash]

That's Numberwang !

[WDFITSSO]

im going to study hard in math to understand this

[viharsarok]

Well, I have no clue what "SAT" is, but if that's a hard problem, I wonder what easy problems look like on "SAT". Is it an exam for retards?

[HelloMan93]

He doesnt mean hard as in really hard to find the answer, but he means that as in it kills time to do. a lot of problems have these situations where u might spend a lot of time on one problem. The work isnt hard, but if u take the wrong approach...you're screwed

[viharsarok]

It's still very easy. I solved this problem in literally 1 second.

The problem with American math exams is that they are all multiple choice tests. In a test you can't check for the reasoning ability of the pupil. Most mathematical problems can't even be formulated as tests.

Hungarian exams are not tests, and they are also MUCH, I mean really much harder than this. In fact, Hungarian highschool acceptance exams (for elementary school students) are way harder than SAT.

[HelloMan93]

Well each place has their own standards. This is why America is failing right now.

[iridethewave]

I think you'd better take back some of the presumptuous claims you're making about American students. Hungary, to be frank, sucks at international Math competitions. The "stupid" math students you're berating have beaten Hungary in international Math competitions for 17 STRAIGHT YEARS, often with HUGE POINT DISPARITIES. Perhaps your entrance exams keep the unintelligent from dropping out but they don't seem to keep the "bright" hungarian students from embarasing themselves on the world stage.

[viharsarok]

Embarasing on the world stage? That's spelt EMBARRASSING, you retard. At least learn how to spell your own langauge before trying to look smart and informed. Ah, and don't use quotation marks for things I never said, bitch.

[iridethewave]

Two things "viharsarok":

1) My first language isn't even English, it's Korean, so certain grammatical errors should be excused, especially given the casual informality with which we speak on an internet forum. and..

2) Count the number of characters in my last post.. do you know what you'll see? I HAD EXACTLY ZERO CHARACTERS REMAINING, in order to keep the entirety of my comment in one post while still keeping the ideas understandable I had to delete a select few characters from the post.

[viharsarok]

English isn't my first language, either, but I still know how to spell embarrassing. Oh, and I also know the difference between a spelling error and a grammatical error, which you seem to be ignorant of. That's something I learned in Hungarian schools that suck so hard in your opinion.

[iridethewave]

Regardless, I'm glad that you can concede that we have some sort of commonality, but you still didn't read my post. I misspelt embarrassing because the character count in my comment box was at exactly zero. I had to make omissions in my post for the sake of brevity and I decided to omit characters in the longer words because THEY WOULD STILL BE UNDERSTANDABLE. In addition, if you read the definition of grammar in any modern text it includes the composition of WORDS as well as structure.

[viharsarok]

I'm glad that you had the intelligence to dig up some random facts which have nothing to do with what I said, but that's what happens if one has no valid arguments.

Clearly, education quality is not measured by IMO results, especially because Americans BUY talents from other countries. Let's see some 2007 "American" IMO contestants:

Alex (Lin) Zhai

Sherry Gong

Arnav Tripathy

Genuine American names, right?

[iridethewave]

America is an extremely cosmopolitan place. Alex Zhai is just as American as any blond haired, blue eyed boy on the street. Making the presumption that any one of these "foreign sounding" names gives credence to their respective "home countries" is both ethnocentric and bigoted. It is ethnocentric because it implies that surname commonalities imply some sort of host-country affinity, and it is bigoted for reasons that naturally follow.

[viharsarok]

The bottom line is that what you said is bullshit. A 18 year old who can't factor x^2*y-x*y^2 won't compete in IMO.

[viharsarok]

Education quality is measured by Average Joe's performance. Don't tell me that people who find it difficult to factor a simple expression at the age of 18 have any chance in the Math Olympiad. It's Americans who embarrass themselves on the world stage.

And btw, I never said that Hungarian math education was very good, I just said that American math education sucked.

[iswatchi]

I Could figure it out on my own but not in 30 seconds -.-

[SamuraiRemixed]

QQ i have SAT in less than a month i have no clue how these problems work plz tell me 9th grade SAT is easier than this

[Bonapart3]

I'm a well educated, smart man in my 20's. However, I've never learned advanced math. My brain just stopped functioning after Pythagoras. Frustrating. But I do well anyways...

[dacat]

what level are sat's i.e do you do em at 16, 17 or 18

[SmackMyBertha]

hw;108

[andrewb58]

I learned this kind of thing in grade 9, it's definitely a very easy question, but I think nobody is to judge the American school system, nor the individuals who may find this difficult. It is ignorant to do so, so no matter what your education level is, if you mouth off about these things it just makes you look worse.

[nevertalk]

...this is at most 5th grade math. Whether you like math or not, you should know how to do a problem like this quickly, no excuses!

I highly recommend Kumon for anybody still in elementary to middle school or with any children around that age..

[Rockrea89]

hw=108

[sepheroth56]

wow, great explanation, thanks!

[dlouis95]

dochbag!

[TSALN]

In the Russian school sytem such math problems are comonly found in grade 5 or 6. The major difference between US and Russia is that in Russia it's very hard, and because of that, when students finish highschool they forget mostly everything because it was to much at once, but in America is so simple, you can't do really anything with such simple math. I preffer the Russian one, even though people strugle to pass with 5's - grades are from 1 which is lowest to 10 and 5 is minimum for passing.

[TSALN]

But in the US, the colleges are really organised and prepared for academic training, I could even say the best. To bad about highschool.

[1nev1tab1e]

I beg to differ, I have a Russian friend in the US, who just moved to America, about a year back, and hes in Alegebra part 1 as a Senior....I did Algebra 1 in 7th grade. O.o

[koolguy728]

very useful way of putting the equation! thanks for the vid

[triangletheorytrey]

33 degrees

[Abercrombieindya]

thanks 4 the video!!

[jad594]

Umm im in grade 9 and im woundering since

X-y = 5

Xy^2 = 7 and since both of the terms are in that question wouldnt you just multiply 7 x 5 since your subsitions dont include exponents?

I know my answer is complicated but i hope i was right. I didnt have time to watch the end of the video

But i choose (D).

[papajohns77]

in this problem (x-y) is one number so is xy

[jad594]

Wow canadian math is really harder than american , this is what i take in gr 9.

[uhhhohhhoreoisinluv]

Thank you VERY much for making this video, It's extremely helpful! Oh, and the aswer to the problem at the end is {108)

[chazzman808]

wow lol i was wondering how to solve those equations. ooo so u dont find the individual x and y ok ya this was a good video make more dude

[RunFlip]

iiff my arse is is 85 degrees how big is the other half

[ninja820]

that was really helpful...make more of these videos....

[j67123]

Look at the rapidly declining American test scores since the 1950s. No wonder things that, in reality, are easy are now labeled "hard".

I don't doubt that many of today's scatterbrained, overmedicated kids would find this kind of "common sense" math problem difficult.

[yummies1]

j67123 Shut the hell up.. your being a dick and you are sterotypeing

[j67123]

Damn, please tell me you're not really 19. In any case, here's a grammar lesson for you to boot: "you're" = "you are"; "your" is possessive: "your brain is missing". I'll chalk up "sterotypeing" to a typo although its use here doesn't make much sense.

[chazzman808]

in conclusion yr still a dick lol

[tongueboy777]

It caught me off guard at first but it's easy:

The common factor in that equation is XY so you factor that out and you get....

xy(x-y) = 7(5) = 35

The answer is C

As for the homework you do the same:

xy(X^2+Y^2) = 6(18) = 108

I want to be a math teacher! I'm currently a freshman in college. :)

[sambiggy4u]

hey the answer is D not C lol dont make those mistake in solving math if u became the teacher u want to be.

[911diaz]

shut the fuck sam u bitch ass faggit im just playin no offense just have an anger problem

[liloyehia]

It's 35... which is D not C...

[DorianGabriello]

Ohh I almost got it...

[BlackiceNoku]

awesome!!

[rellfreaky171]

omg what in the world lol

[Wuzzi55]

HAHA, what if u died and your video is still online? Does the homework still count for the next "x" generations?

XD

[mathproblems]

why do you talk like that?

WhaT HAVE DONE WRONG TO YOU?

[Wuzzi55]

I'm really sorry sir. Ur face just resembles strongly one of my relatives :D

[911diaz]

you tell him teach

[TheVinod43]

@Wuzzi55 I am dead are you happy now?

[Wuzzi55]

@TheVinod43 That immature comment I posted was just for laughs, I didn't mean to insult him, just to bother him a bit, as I actually like him because he reminds me of someone related. As for you, if you died, I would feel deep sorrow, although I don't even know you. Take care bro.

[helpvidz]

@Wuzzi55 let me eat that pussy

[YOURMOM230]

both really simple

[koolman280]

wh y is ther alfabets in math? i thot ther onle numbears

[grahmcrackers]

AP calc will rape u... remember that..

acutally math will rape u period..

[koolman280]

i was jokin bitch, im in a math class one grade ahead and top student scoring pass/advanced on my sat's one point from an 100%. and secondly, why do you reply to an 6 month old comment

[zestyhispana7]

1. i don't care if u were kidding or not.

2. i didn't notice it was 6 months old til now......

3. Nobody gives a fuck about ur SAT scores... ur 1 pont away from 100 good 4 u do u want a cookie?

[koolman280]

yes i do want one, what type?

[cheese671]

omg thank you man i love you....you saved my life seriously

[mushrooom]

this is a perfect VIDEO!

THANK YOU!!!!

PLEASE DO MORE OF THESE!!!!!!

[christiaan81]

too easy!

[blockfrom3062]

500 character limit limited response. Factoring question had to include all of the input and from there it was simple. Sarcasm aside, modifying question to use inputs should be initial approach to many questions.

[roberth214]

Exactly, many people find themselves doing it the "long way". Now in many cases, you do need to do it the long way, but you should still initially try to solve quickly by factoring much like this.

[blockfrom3062]

I couldn't watch the entire video because his teaching method was not to my liking. I tell my students that they must always remember that this is the SAT and SAT problems relate the question directly to the given data. Therefore the question had to be factorable into what was given.

[mathproblems]

Really?

[marzto]

i liked it

[FailurePi]

xy(x²+y²)= ?

xy = 6, x²+y² = 18

therefore xy(x²+y²)= 6*18

= 108

easy :)

[ngazmat]

howd you put exponents? what alt code is that?

[kickass911]

this is freaking easy

[BliZmOnKeY]

My sweeet god!!

I had to make 1238 problems in one year to go to the best university from my part of the country(not from usa)!!

lol

Not even the very esy problems were not this esy !

loool

I wrote in 6-7 months at least 2*500 pages!!

I got a staight 10 on my exam!!

lool

I was 25 from 4-5000 students!!

:))

[andrewbreen]

Aren't you smug.

[markonamission]

your a smug fuck

[vkgoku2012]

You Bush Monkey.

[roughneckmonkey]

Lol you just saved yourself about 3 minute right there.

[yamahaU3]

My gosh, cant believe these questions are actually labele as HARD, what grade is this?

[mathproblems]

11th and 12 th graders must take this SAT test to go to a better university. The college Board administers thsi test and they have ;labellled it hard LOL

[livesupinsmoke]

35 , 108 ..these are sitters..

[mathproblems]

correct

[kishanpatel500]

35 to the top one and 108 for the bottom one

[mathproblems]

yes correct, are you taking the SAT when?

[kishanpatel500]

ive actually just finished my GCSE's and found these questions quite of a challenege...may have different education systems because im from london and im assuming from the phone number that you are from india
