I almost thought college math for me was over. However, thanks to great people like you, my math skills are up to par and a lot easier to understand. Thank you much and please continue true knowledge.

@nomadic3527 glad to hear that things are going well for you. i have found that 50% of doing well in math is just having some confidence, knowing that it is a hard subject, and do not give up! : )

If I had one wish, I would wish you as my teacher, lol.

@scraper1000 if you watch my videos, your wish has already come true! : )

Hey, Pat. Love your work and I thank you for that. Just wanted to remind you that if I'm not mistaken, the example, "Factoring Using the Great Common Factor, GCF - Example 1" should't in the parenthesis be y^4 instead of y^6?

Thanks you just did my homework. LOL

LOL way better than going to a random site to just remember something that I forgot over the summer. 8D Keep up the good work (^-^)/

What would it be called if your trying to find x after factoring out the GCF? Thanks btw.
