00:03

Okay sy match members We're going to roll through here

00:07

these air algebraic expressions and equations word problems and applications

00:11

so sort of a hodgepodge of all the stuff we've

00:13

been doing Okay here's the word problem question thing You

00:16

hear three words solve for g P equals mg monies

00:23

for plus n g All right we gotta solve for

00:25

g it just means we got to get g on

00:27

one side and all this other crap on the other

00:29

So let's think about this Well you know stranger things

00:33

find show showed us there's a market for retro scifi

00:36

films so we thought we'd try our hand at it

00:38

This black and white version of solving fergie is entitled

00:41

when g took over the world it's a remake of

00:44

the blob because well g seems to be stuck all

00:47

over the expression on the right So here we go

00:49

it's like cookie cutter way of doing it But let's

00:52

just do it So we're going to move for to

00:53

safety by adding it to both sides of the equation

00:57

that gets us p plus for is mg plus n

01:00

g The g is multiplying at a rapid rate due

01:03

to exposure to chemical nine eighty four code named distribution

01:07

The antidote is toe pull out the g as a

01:09

greatest common factor when we get people us for is

01:13

g times the quantity and plus in all right At

01:16

least the special effects were better In the ones used

01:18

in godzilla come on give us a break here it's

01:20

All right divide both sides of the equation by the

01:22

binomial m plus in to finish containing g and that

01:26

gets us peoples for over m plus in is g

01:29

well there we go After striking fear in the hearts

01:31

of test takers everywhere g is imprisoned in the expression

01:35

people us for over m plus and the answer is

01:37

c all the world can sleep deeply tonight in peace 00:01:42.295 --> [endTime] then oh no
