I'm studying GCSE maths again as an adult and I wish I'd had a teacher like you when I was younger. You are extremely good at what you do and it is clear that you enjoy it.

I was always beaten by my MATHS teachers, barely used to pass the math exams and many times I failed to top the class because of my pass marks in Maths (while getting over 90-95 in every other subjects) which used to be around 40-50/100. Now when am listening to u, I feel like this is just simple stuff, but it all lies with the person who is explaining. Am trying to let go of the Math phobia that is accumulated within me. I have chosen Humanities in class 11 & 12 and now I've completed my BA, which I've taken because there is no maths and topped in all of them. Now for every competitive exam or to do my PhD or to become a professional Urban planner, you need MATH, and thus I realised in life Math can not be avoided. Maths is haunting me but I feel little couyrgaeous to face those challenges only after am watching your videos and your lucid explanation. No exaggeration but I'd have gotten gold medals had I had a personal Math teacher like you. Thank you :) Ma'am

I'm in year 9 and have been studying algebraic fractions lately but found subtracting the most challenging of all.

The way I am going to rewatch this is crazy

[@maestrocd9176]

Thanks for the great video. How would you deal with an integer in a algebraic fraction problem?
For example, 5 + 1/x + 1/y
I understand that the fractions with the variables would become x/xy and y/xy, and my logic would suggest converting the integer to an improper fraction 5/1 and then times numerator and denominator by xy. However, the answer to the problem suggests only the denominator should be multiplied by xy and I can't understand why, or find any explanation anywhere.
Thanks again!

[@TheMathsProf]

Looks good to me! 😊 If you have to add those three terms together then... 5xy/xy + y/xy + x/xy ...

[@maestrocd9176]

@@TheMathsProf thanks so much for this. Looks like there's an error in the textbook I have, as it shows the answer as 5+X+Y / XY.

Thank you so much but I’m slightly confused, in the last question you said to point out the minus so you don’t forget to subtract however in the second last question we turned the number into a minus number then collected the terms instead of using it as a subtract, why is that?
