    I'm gonna be honest... I cheated in math a lot.... And I got really depressed because I knew eventually I was gonna get caught and fail my 8th grade year because I was at a point in math where if I just stopped cheating I would have no idea what the heck I was doing... So basically I watched this video and finished up the year cheating, but now I'm in high school and I'm making Bs and Cs without cheating.... So this video helped me a lot.

However you sir just explained how to do this within 1 minute, short and helpful and makes it easy for me to remember.

    @ 5:00 - why MULTIPLY (both sides) by 'minus 1' please? You still end up with 1 x positive value and 1 x negative value (ie nothing seems to be achieved!)?

      So you can get positive x. Always try to get positive X.

      because -3x = 9 can be written as:
      -1 x 3x = 9
      3x = 9/-1
      3x = -9
      hope this helps :D

    Why did you get rid of the negative signs? I thought two negative numbers you add and keep the sign. I got -5. every little detail counts in solving algebraic problems. Alexandra can u share your thoughts on this one?

      Hey guys 😊 just a tip, but a negative and a positive ( - + ) always equals a negative and a negative and a negative always equals a positive ( - - )

      It's because to change a negative to a positive, you multiply by negative 1. For example, -4 X -1 =4. So since both sides of the equation were negative, he just multiplied each side by negative 1. This just changes the sides from negative, to positive.
