Today we are solving algebraic equations using fractions.

It is very important to understand that you have to always have the same common denominator.

Children are always scared when they see it is algebra but that is not true if you understand what I am showing you here today.

It is not our normal math antics teacher but he is just as good.

Please work through the video until you understand as he explains everything so nicely that you never have to be scared of algebra again.

Always remember that you want to get the unknown x or a, or whatever they give you on their own.

Another thing to remember is that what you do on the one side you must always repeat on the other side.

If you do not do this your math problem will never be right.

So if you follow these maths problems he is explaining you will notice that he uses a dot between two numbers which actually means multiplication.

You know how I feel about your multiplication tables and now you understand why.

When you are working with fractions and you do not have one there make it into a fraction.

In his next maths problem he changes a mixed fraction into another fraction and so on so please go through every maths problem with him and you will see that they all basically work the same.

The most important thing is actually to know your rules and multiplication tables.

Please concentrate on what he is doing as he is doing it over and over for your benefit.

I really hope this did help a bit for you never to be scared of algebra.

Have a wonderful day from me here at the Wild Coast.
