Hi Simon - thanks very much for your videos. I am currently preparing for some SHL tests. I have got the question to this point 150.81/148.59 = 151.05/ x. I know I need to get x on the top and I can cross these over to do it but my algebra is a little rusty. I was wondering if you could help me with this question or better yet point me in the direction of a video or worksheet that can help me with these type of problems. Thanks

Id like to understand how you went from 6x/12 to 1/2x. I fine up to that point, i feel like i missed a step or dont fully understand the concept of fractions. The x was on top and now its part of the entire fraction. How does that happen?

@3minutemaths

5 жыл бұрын

Hi - Thanks for this. The x is still part of the fraction but it's like saying (6 times x) all divided by 12. The 6 and 12 are reduced so I've now got (1 times x) all divided by 2. Hope that's OK and all best S

@bighands69

6/12 is the exact same as 1/2. It does not matter if the x is on the top of the fraction or the bottom it means the same thing as long as you do not put an x on top and bottom at the same time (will cancel or divide out).

What happens if x is on the bottom of the fraction?

i was wondering if there was another method to simplify 6x-12 ? 12

@bighands69

5 жыл бұрын

That is as simple as you can make it. You cannot simply subtract 12 from x. It is like saying I have 5 apples so I took away 3 oranges. They are two completely different things. Now if it was 6x-12x it would be a simple case of taking away one from the other because they are the exact same thing.

What is minus? Negative or literrally subtraction

sir i have a doubt. when you simplifed 6x/12 - 6/12 = you cant just turn 6x/12 into 1/2 x cuz sir the the variable was with 6 not with the whole fraction

@3minutemaths

Жыл бұрын

Hi - around 4:07 there's a few options. (6x - 6) / 12 means you can separate both fractions as you are dividing 'each term' by 12 - so 6x/12, and 6/12 ... These can then be further simplified to half x and a half. Hope that helps and thank you for your comment. All very best S :-)

Nevermind, I figured it out!

Algebra fractions are really really difficult. Even number based fractions are difficult. The reason for this is simple our brains find it difficult to deal with many parts which is what fractions are. Our brains deal with whole numbers more efficiently. People with high IQ's find it easier to deal with many moving parts because they are mentally able to juggle more balls in the air and are able to watch the movements of each individual mental ball. The beauty of mathematics is that it enables a normal IQ person to perform these tasks through lots of practice.

let me tell you something. I was a grade D student in maths and I was in the lowest set. In my class, everyone was so bad at maths however with a little bit of revision i managed to get the highest grade for maths which was a C in the mock exam, i beat everyone! However i was still at foundation. The fact that I was the best in my class gave me immense confidence and motivated me to carry on. Since then, I deliberately started loving maths, then I found myself revising everyday! I couldnt stop. Despite still being at foundation level, i went on KZread and started learning all the A/A* topics. After a few months I was on top set for maths and now (after a year) i got 3 A*s in a row for all the mock exams. Right now, I'm one of the best in my class. Im not being big-headed but my point is that to get better at maths, the first step is *TO START LOVING MATHS*

Hi - To add or subtract fractions you need the same bottom number (the denominator). I changed the denominator to 12, from 3, by multiplying by 4. So, you need to also multiply the (x + 2) by 4. You'll then get 4x + 8 ..... although you need to be careful that it's -4 (2.34 on the video). Best S
