Algebra: Solving Linear Equations - Part 1: The Basics

[NOTE: This video is only the first 18 minutes of the full lesson, please visit my website to purchase complete version] Lesson consists of providing you with a Self-Tutorial on how to solve linear equations. Tutor discusses what is an Equation, Solution, Solution Set, Equivalent Equations, Identity, Contradictions, Conditional Equations, Linear Equations, the Standard Form of a Linear Equation. I show you how to actually SOLVE linear equations going step-by-step. I don't skip steps. I review some of the properties of Equality here too. I remind you to check the work done and how to solve linear equations using a calculator. At the end, you will know how to easily solve equations that look like:

2[y - (4y - 1)] = 5 - 9y

No word problems are done here. This is shown in DETAIL in Part 2 of the Lesson.

Dude this make no sence liek u dont use question marks on and equation or talk to your self Omg i watcht you video for help and it just mess me up even more

[videomathtutor]

@MonkeyFunny101 Dude, like I don't understand what you mean, dude. Why would I use question marks? Why would I talk to myself? I create videos from the perspective that I am talking to YOU directly. If you found this video difficult, you may want to first watch my "Basic Math" videos. They are designed to help you better prepare for algebra.

my left ear loved it

[videomathtutor]

@RWtubb Sorry for neglecting your right ear. I will be using studio quality mics for future future videos (thanks to those who purchased my videos!)

dude i cant hear you

[videomathtutor]

@doublecutie135ify Video is in mono, not stereo. Please adjust your speakers. New videos will be in stereo.

OMG i am in honors math because i got pro on my pssa scores...I HATE HONORS MATH i am thinking of just switching to the regular algerbra classes we are so far behind because our class dosnt shut up and i dont get half the crap were talking about I HATE LINEAR EQUATIONS cause thats what i am completey stuck on i dont get when to use are 5 formulas rise/run y=mx+b Ax+by=c and so on...we have a test on friday to what should i do

[JAXROXful]

Sir you are very good at teaching all this but i hope u upload the rest of video for free as i dont have a credit card .

[AMIELrenaissance]

Algebra is like a programming language.WOW.

it all make sense now.

[videomathtutor]

@Chrisander1606 Then you have learned a valuable lesson today. You **DO** need to read the descriptions. I provide DETAILED info there telling viewers EXACTLY what my videos will be about. I do not have linear algebra videos yet, but will in the future. My videos are better than what you get in the classroom and worth the small price to pay for them. By the way, I do read the descriptions, since I do not want to waste my time watching something that is not related to what I am searching for.

[Chrisander1606]

Dear videomathtutor, I probably should have read the description before watching the video and wasting my time by taking notes. But like most people I searched for linear algebra and your video came up; I selected it and watched it. Thats the entire dynamic to watching YouTube videos. No one reads the description first and anyone who says they do is just lying to make a point. Also I'd I wanted to pay for a math lesson I would be sitting behind a desk in college and not browsing YouTube.

Very Helpful thanks .
