    At 7:00 remember that the word "of" means "times", just as we must remember that "is" means "equals"

    I know I have forgotten most of my algebra and maybe I am doing this wrong, but couldn't we solve this equation differently?
    I would just write it like this:
    0.09(2x +1) = 50
    2x + 1 = 50/0.09
    2x = 555,55 -1
    x = 554,55/2
    x = 277,27

  • @richardowens9061
    @richardowens9061 15 дней назад

    I took the approach of dividing both sides by 0.09. I then subtracted 1 from both sides to get 2x = 554.5555556. Then, I divided both sides by two to get x = 277.277778.

      The problem said is 50 not 50.0004. Why round, nothing says you need to round.

      @gavindeane3670 16 дней назад +1

      ​@@markmauldin1327The guy in the video elects to round the answer to 2 decimal places, but his rounding is incorrect. I think the person you replied to was just pointing out that error.
      Whether he should be rounding at all is a separate question.

      @@panlomito While true, only a limited number of fractions can be expressed properly on a computer. "5/18" is not properly expressed as a fraction; ½ is.

      ​@@laurendoe1685/18 is fine.
      The exact way to express the answer to the question in this video is 4991/18 if you're writing inline.
      To express the exact answer in decimal form you need to be writing on a system that includes the ability to indicate recurring decimals with dots or a vinculum above the recurring digit(s), which is a bit beyond what's possible in a RUclips comment.

    There's a typo in the question on the chalkboard - it should say "9% of" as it does in the video description.
    Put the question on the chalk board into WolframAlpha and it says there's no solution, because it treats the % as the modulo operator.
    But let's assume the question in the description is correct. Representing that mathematically we have
    9
    ------ × (2x + 1) = 50
    100
    which solves as
    9 × (2x + 1) = 5000
    2x + 1 = 5000/9
    2x = 5000/9 - 1 = 5000/9 - 9/9 = 4991/9
    x = 4991/18

      I've often wondered why he does't pronounce "algebraic" correctly. Maybe a form of dyslexia? (which I would think makes this subject even more difficult to master) 🤷‍♀ ✌💙
