  • you're awesome Sal, hope you keep it up, :-D

  • i disagree with derek. he is clear when he's talking but it's difficult to draw clearly on an online blackboard. i find it quite easy to follow and extremely helpful. that was funny though.."let me figure out how to turn this thing off"

  • And I thought math was hard...

  • Thank you soo much, this to me, is the hardest lesson ever

  • Well... That's not how I got it..

    from 1st info I got the following equation:

    N = 4 + U

    from 2nd info I got:

    N - 2 = 5 ( U - 2 )

    then I replaced the value of N from the earlier equation to be:

    4 + U - 2 = 5U - 10

    4 - 2 + 10 = 5U - U

    U = 3 and N = 7

    But you are great I love your videos....

  • why cant you simply do it like this: nazrath = n umaima = u n= u + 4 n= 5u 5u = u+4 4u = 4 u = 1 so umaima was 1 year old 2 years ago..so nazrath was 5....which makes her 7 years old right now By the way...i'm not correcting you or anything like that ...you are honestly the best teacher in the world..!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!1111

  • wow thank dude YOU SAVED MY LIFE :D ur a great teacher...

  • @kalsoom31 lets say:x= john's current age, and y=his son's current age x-3=24+(y-3)>>>bec. john 3yrs ago, is 24yrs older than his son, & his son is 24yrs younger than him 3yrs ago, x=5y>>>bec. john is currently 5 times older than his son.(multiply the first equation by -5 to cancel out 5y and y)>>>-5x+15=-120-(5y+15) and add it to the second equation, and ull get,>>>-4x+15=-120+15>>>solve for x>>>x=30=john's current age, substitute 30 to the second equation(30=5y) and you get that y=6 DONE =)

  • can any1 solve this...3 years ago.john was 24 years older than his son.now,john is 5 times as old as his son.how old is john now
