Example two-step equation with numerator x Linear equations Algebra I Khan Academy.mp3
I could write just a plus 0, but I think that's a little unnecessary. And so we have negative 18 is equal to x over 4, and our whole goal here is to isolate the x, to solve for the x. And the best way we could do that, if we have x over 4 here, if we multiply that by 4, we're just going to have an x. So we can multiply that by 4, but once again, this is an equation. Anything you do to the right-hand side, you have to do to the left-hand side, and vice versa. So if we multiply the right-hand side by 4, we also have to multiply the left-hand side by 4. So we get 4 times negative 18 is equal to x over 4 times 4.

So we can multiply that by 4, but once again, this is an equation. Anything you do to the right-hand side, you have to do to the left-hand side, and vice versa. So if we multiply the right-hand side by 4, we also have to multiply the left-hand side by 4. So we get 4 times negative 18 is equal to x over 4 times 4. The x over 4 times 4, that cancels out. You divide something by 4 and multiply by 4. You're just going to be left with an x.
Example two-step equation with numerator x Linear equations Algebra I Khan Academy.mp3
So we get 4 times negative 18 is equal to x over 4 times 4. The x over 4 times 4, that cancels out. You divide something by 4 and multiply by 4. You're just going to be left with an x. And on the other side, 4 times negative 18, let's see, that's 40. Well, let's just write it out. So 18 times 4, if we were to multiply 18 times 4, 4 times 8 is 32.
Example two-step equation with numerator x Linear equations Algebra I Khan Academy.mp3
You're just going to be left with an x. And on the other side, 4 times negative 18, let's see, that's 40. Well, let's just write it out. So 18 times 4, if we were to multiply 18 times 4, 4 times 8 is 32. 4 times 1 is 4, plus 1 is 72. But this is negative 18 times 4, so it's negative 72. So x is equal to negative 72.
Example two-step equation with numerator x Linear equations Algebra I Khan Academy.mp3
So 18 times 4, if we were to multiply 18 times 4, 4 times 8 is 32. 4 times 1 is 4, plus 1 is 72. But this is negative 18 times 4, so it's negative 72. So x is equal to negative 72. And if we want to check it, we can just substitute it back into that original equation. So let's do that. Let's substitute this into the original equation.
Example two-step equation with numerator x Linear equations Algebra I Khan Academy.mp3
So x is equal to negative 72. And if we want to check it, we can just substitute it back into that original equation. So let's do that. Let's substitute this into the original equation. So the original equation was negative 16 is equal to, instead of writing x, I'm going to write negative 72, is equal to negative 72 over 4 plus 2. Let's see if this is actually true. So this right-hand side simplifies to negative 72 divided by 4.

Let's substitute this into the original equation. So the original equation was negative 16 is equal to, instead of writing x, I'm going to write negative 72, is equal to negative 72 over 4 plus 2. Let's see if this is actually true. So this right-hand side simplifies to negative 72 divided by 4. We already know that that is negative 18. So this is equal to negative 18 plus 2. This is what the equation becomes.
Example two-step equation with numerator x Linear equations Algebra I Khan Academy.mp3
So this right-hand side simplifies to negative 72 divided by 4. We already know that that is negative 18. So this is equal to negative 18 plus 2. This is what the equation becomes. And then the right-hand side, negative 18 plus 2, that's negative 16. So it all comes out true. This right-hand side, when x is equal to negative 72, does indeed equal negative 16.
Slope-intercept equation from slope and point Algebra I Khan Academy.mp3
So any line can be represented in slope intercept form as y is equal to mx plus b. Where this m right over here, that is the slope of the line. And this b over here, this is the y intercept of the line. Let me draw a quick line here just so that we can visualize that a little bit. So that is my y axis and then that is my x axis. Let me draw a line. Since our line here has a negative slope, I'll draw a downward sloping line.

Since our line here has a negative slope, I'll draw a downward sloping line. Let's say our line looks something like that. Hopefully we're a little familiar with the slope already. The slope essentially tells us start at some point on the line and go to some other point on the line.

Since our line here has a negative slope, I'll draw a downward sloping line. Let's say our line looks something like that. Hopefully we're a little familiar with the slope already. The slope essentially tells us start at some point on the line and go to some other point on the line. Measure how much you have to move in the x direction, that is your run. And then measure how much you have to move in the y direction, that is your rise. And our slope is equal to rise over run.

The slope essentially tells us start at some point on the line and go to some other point on the line. Measure how much you have to move in the x direction, that is your run. And then measure how much you have to move in the y direction, that is your rise. And our slope is equal to rise over run. What you're going to see over here would be downward sloping. Because if you move in the positive x direction, we have to go down. If our run is positive, our rise here is negative.
Slope-intercept equation from slope and point Algebra I Khan Academy.mp3
And our slope is equal to rise over run. What you're going to see over here would be downward sloping. Because if you move in the positive x direction, we have to go down. If our run is positive, our rise here is negative. So this would be a negative over positive, give you a negative number. That makes sense because we're downward sloping. The more we go down in this situation, for every step we move to the right, the more downward sloping we'll be, the more of a negative slope we'll have.

If our run is positive, our rise here is negative. So this would be a negative over positive, give you a negative number. That makes sense because we're downward sloping. The more we go down in this situation, for every step we move to the right, the more downward sloping we'll be, the more of a negative slope we'll have. That's slope. The y intercept just tells us where we intercept the y axis. The y intercept, this point right over here, this is where the line intersects with the y axis.

The more we go down in this situation, for every step we move to the right, the more downward sloping we'll be, the more of a negative slope we'll have. That's slope. The y intercept just tells us where we intercept the y axis. The y intercept, this point right over here, this is where the line intersects with the y axis. This will be the point 0, b. This actually just falls straight out of this equation. When x is equal to 0, let's evaluate this equation when x is equal to 0. y will be equal to m times 0 plus b.

But before I even do that, let's have a little bit of a review of what an exponent even is. So let's say I had 2 to the third power. You might be tempted to say, oh, is that 6? And I would say, no, it is not 6. This means 2 times itself 3 times. So this is going to be equal to 2 times 2 times 2, which is equal to 2 times 2 is 4. 4 times 2 is equal to 8.

If I have, let me do several more examples of this. If I have, let's do it in magenta. Let's say I had 2 squared times 2 to the 4th times 2 to the 6th. I have the same base in all of these, so I can add the exponents. This is going to be equal to 2 to the 2 plus 4 plus 6, which is equal to 2 to the 12th power.

Hopefully that makes sense because this is going to be 2 times itself 2 times, 2 times itself 4 times, 2 times itself 6 times. When you multiply them all out, it's going to be 2 times itself 12 times or 2 to the 12th power. Let's do it in a little bit more abstract way using some variables, but it's the same exact idea.

The king's advisor, Arbegla, is watching all of this discourse between you, the king, and the bird. And he's starting to feel a little bit jealous, because he's supposed to be the wise man in the kingdom, the king's closest advisor. So he steps in and says, OK, if you and this bird are so smart, how about you tackle the riddle of the fruit prices? And the king says, yes, that is something that we haven't been able to figure out, the fruit prices. Arbegla tell them the riddle of the fruit prices. And so Arbegla says, well, we want to keep track of how much our fruit costs, but we forgot to actually log how much it costs when we went to the market. But we know how much in total we spent.

So let's let A equal the cost of apples per pound. And let's let B equal the cost of bananas per pound. So how could we interpret this first information right over here? 2 pounds of apples and a pound of bananas cost $3. Well, how much are the apples going to cost? Well, it's going to cost 2 pounds times the cost per pound times A. That's going to be the total cost of the apples in this scenario.

2 pounds of apples and a pound of bananas cost $3. Well, how much are the apples going to cost? Well, it's going to cost 2 pounds times the cost per pound times A. That's going to be the total cost of the apples in this scenario. And what's the total cost of the bananas? Well, it's 1 pound times the cost per pound. So you're just going to have B.
Inconsistent systems of equations Algebra II Khan Academy.mp3
That's going to be the total cost of the apples in this scenario. And what's the total cost of the bananas? Well, it's 1 pound times the cost per pound. So you're just going to have B. That's going to be the total cost of the bananas, because we know we bought 1 pound. So the total cost of the apples and bananas are going to be 2A plus B. And we know what that total cost is.
Inconsistent systems of equations Algebra II Khan Academy.mp3
So you're just going to have B. That's going to be the total cost of the bananas, because we know we bought 1 pound. So the total cost of the apples and bananas are going to be 2A plus B.

6 pounds of apples, the total cost is going to be 6 pounds times A dollars per pound. And the total cost of bananas is going to be, well, we bought 3 pounds of bananas. And the cost per pound is B.

I have 6A over here. So if I multiply this entire white equation by negative 3, then this 2A would become a negative 6A. And then it might be able to cancel out with that. So let me do that. Let me multiply this entire equation, the entire equation, times negative 3. So negative 3 times 2A is negative 6A. Negative 3 times B is negative 3B.

So let me do that. Let me multiply this entire equation, the entire equation, times negative 3. So negative 3 times 2A is negative 6A. Negative 3 times B is negative 3B. And then negative 3 times 3 is negative 9. And now we can essentially add the two equations, or add the left side of this equation to the left side of that, and the right side of this equation to the right side of that. We're essentially adding the same thing to both sides of this green equation, because we know that this is equal to that.
