Oh my god!! I LOVED your tutoring so much!!!! Is so simple, clean and very specified. I have encounter tutoring videos in which even the speaking sound makes me feel uncomfortable and some tutors stutters a lot while explaining… Thank you so much for your time and effort. You’re doing an excellent job by helping us understand math in a very clear and simple way 👏🏻
Thank God you Save my Exam thanks to you FBT
Oh my Lord. Bless you times 10,000. LOL I have been studying this for days and you helped me understand it in 1 hour. I love how you get excited about breaking it down for us to understand. I was about to drop this Quantitative Reasoning class until I saw this. THANK YOU!!!
WOW...where have you been all of my academic life??? You have made my mathematical life so much simpler to understand. Being a half a century old, and returning to higher education is not easy, especially when doing so online. But all of your videos have made this transition sweeter...and for that I thank you kind Sir. I thank you. I am attending college online, and it is taxing to say the very least, but I am not a quitter, hence the reason for my constant viewing of your videos. My final exam in math is due tomorrow, so I am diligently soaking up all I can now, in order to pass. I do not want to merely pass, as I am an A student at the present time. I am attaining high 90s in every class , and this will most assuredly assist in my maintaining that GPA. Oh and, BTW...I did not forget you. As soon as my finances are available, {hopefully very soon now}, I will be donating to my very own personal virtual tutor..."Mr. Whittington".

Dear Mr Whitt, This is my second time watching this video in preparation for the Florida Teacher Cert Exam (FTCE - GK) and it's really helping me to understand something I was so afraid of for so long. (I've always hated maths..."terrified" is more like it...lol). You may have heard (or seen news reports) that so many aspiring teachers cannot get certified because of failing the math portion of the GKE. No matter what a person intends to teach he/she must pass all sections of this exam (....and some of us left high school a long, long time ago). Your videos are the most straightforward I've seen so far, but when I get stuck on a problem from my practice book I have to search and search for a video to help me with my exact situation. Do you offer an entire FTCE math prep course? You explain things so much better than this book I bought and all the prep courses I've attended so far....Just saying..... Anyways, Thanks again! Mrs. P

+chris crawford The goal I set was to put the equation in slope-intercept form which is y=mx+b. The benefit is so that you can quickly identify the slope and/or y-intercept. Your example would not be in slope-intercept form.
