00:0-1 Good day . Welcome to Tech Math channel . What
00:01 we're going to be having a look at in this
00:02 video is we're gonna be looking at a way of
00:04 solving linear equations with variables on both sides . This
00:08 is a pretty easy thing to do . So I'll
00:10 show you a way of doing this . Um now
00:13 these are the questions that look like this . They
00:15 might get something that looks like three X plus four
00:20 . The calls two X plus six . Now ,
00:26 as you see , we got variables on both sides
00:28 of these are these ones here , these three X
00:29 and two X . And we also generally have these
00:32 standard constant numbers is four . And these six here
00:35 , do you notice we have 44 ? Number three
00:37 ? We have three X . We have positive four
00:39 . We have positive two X . And we have
00:42 six . So we're going to solve this by basically
00:44 grouping all the X numbers on one side of the
00:48 equation and all the other numbers on the other side
00:51 of the equation . Now to do this is fairly
00:53 simple . Pretty much . We're going to try and
00:56 get these exes over this side and all these other
00:58 numbers on this side . So to get this two
01:02 X on this side , pretty much what you're going
01:04 to see at the moment , we can get rid
01:05 of this two X . It's a positive two X
01:07 . We can take it away . If we take
01:09 it off this side we can take it off this
01:11 side as well . Okay ? And you can see
01:15 that if we do that to X take away two
01:17 X gets rid of it , Okay ? It ends
01:19 up with nothing and three X take away two X
01:22 . Is just X . Okay , I also want
01:25 to get this four on this side . So to
01:27 do this at the moment it's a positive for I'm
01:30 going to take it off both sides . Okay ,
01:33 So four take four is canceling out , and six
01:35 take Away Four is too . Now that's the way
01:39 we generally solve these , but you can probably see
01:41 that we can skip a few steps here . Okay
01:43 . We don't really need to actually uh take away
01:46 four off this side as obviously as we do it
01:49 here . Pretty much all we do here is I
01:51 look at the often just look at the sign here
01:53 this positive for and I take it off the other
01:56 side and just get rid of it here . I'll
01:57 show you what I mean . Okay . Same question
02:01 . And we'll do it just a little bit faster
02:03 and then we'll go through a few other examples .
02:05 So so we had where is it ? We have
02:08 three X . Plus four equals two x . Plus
02:13 six . Okay , so I want to get the
02:16 two X . On this side just deposited two X
02:19 . I'm just going to take it off . Yeah
02:23 . Okay because I'm going to cancel it out there
02:24 . If I take it off here it's gonna cancel
02:26 it straight away . I want to put this four
02:27 over here so I'm gonna get rid of it there
02:30 and on this side I'm just going to take it
02:32 away . Do the opposite here . So what we're
02:35 going to end up with is three X . Ay
02:37 co two X . We end up with X .
02:40 and six take away four X equals two . Pretty
02:45 easy . Right ? All right I'll tell you what
02:48 we'll go through another example . Yeah . Okay so
02:53 so we had two X Plus one equals 4 x
03:01 . Take away Nine . Okay . So we're gonna
03:04 do that same thing . I'd like to get all
03:05 the exes on this side and all the other numbers
03:07 on this side so we'll do it like that .
03:09 Okay so I'm going to get rid of this four
03:12 X and get it on this side so to get
03:13 rid of it it's a positive at the moment I'm
03:16 going to take it away . I'm going to take
03:17 it off this side so minus four X . All
03:20 right , I want to put this one on this
03:22 side . It's a positive one at the moment .
03:24 I'm going to take it off both sides to take
03:26 off one . Okay , So two x take away
03:30 four x is -2x . Okay , be very careful
03:35 with that . Okay and -9 -1 is -10 .
03:41 Okay , so pretty much if we end up with
03:42 a minus in both of these we can multiply both
03:45 sides by -1 and get rid of them . So
03:49 We got a minus on both sides . I can
03:50 just get rid of this . Get rid of that
03:52 . Get rid of that . So two x equals
03:54 10 . This means X equals five . Okay ,
04:00 pretty easy . Right what about one last one of
04:02 these ? Did it did it did it did it
04:07 where are reached ? Okay . So X take away
04:12 three echoes for X man plus six . Okay .
04:21 So what about you give this a quick go pause
04:24 the video . So here you go . All right
04:27 , hopefully you've done that . Hopefully you've done really
04:29 well . Okay , so first off what we should
04:33 do is we're going to get rid of this four
04:35 exhale and I'm going to take it off this side
04:38 . I'm going to get rid of this three here
04:39 . Now you're gonna see this is a -3 .
04:41 So I'm gonna do the opposite of what it says
04:42 . I'm going to add it to both sides ,
04:44 I'm gonna add it over here . Okay ? Alright
04:48 X Take Away four X . Is going to be
04:54 -3x . Okay . And this equals 3.6 which is
04:59 nine . Okay , so pretty much we multiply both
05:03 sides by minus one . We're going to end up
05:05 with three X equals minus nine And therefore x equals
05:12 we divide both sides by three part of three .
05:15 So how'd you go , those type of questions ?
05:17 Okay . Hopefully . Uh that's uh solved any problems
05:21 you have with them anyway ? Uh Good luck with
05:23 those . Any questions Shoot him through , we'll answer
05:26 them for you . Okay ? See you next time
05:28 . Bye .
