An educational video from Math Problem Generator that shows how to multiply variables. It is a very short video - about 1 min in length.
Math Problem Generator gives a video about how to add and subtract variables. All you have to do is combine the coefficient, which is the number that comes before the variable. The numbers are added or subtracted but the variable remains the same. In the video, the example given is 9x + 6x - x. First you add 9x + 6x, giving you 15x. The equation is now 15x - x. If a variable has no number written in front of it, that means the value is 1. So the equation is 15x - 1x and that is equal to 14x.
Math Problem Generator shows us how to convert the percentage into decimals in a simple and in a very effective manner. To convert the numbers from the percentage mode to a decimal mode you need to know how to shift the decimals. take any number which is in percentage mode, here it is taken as 85.6% and then take the decimal point and move it to the left two times and that is where you will find there is no more place to move. So the resulting decimal would be equal to 0.856. This is a simple...
This is a helpful video provided by Math Problem Generator. It deals with the complex challenges of dividing variables. The audio is great and provides specific examples of dealing with multiple types of this problem. The video lays out three simple steps. The first being to simplify the coefficient, the second being to divide the variable, and the third being to deal with the results of the division. The information is clearly presented and best of all it's free. I think we all wish there we...

Password cracking is a specialty of some hackers, and it's often thought that raw computing power trumps everything else. That is true in some cases, but sometimes it's more about the wordlist. Making a custom, targeted wordlist can cut down cracking time considerably, and Wordlister can help with that.
André Broessel of rawlemon has developed a solar energy generator that can use both sun and moonlight to create usable power. Oh... and it's gorgeous. The device is essentially a huge glass sphere filled with water that uses a ball lens to refract light in a way that increases energy efficiency by 35 percent. It's completely weatherproof and has an optical tracking device, meaning that it can be incorporated into architecture. Here's a concept design of how it could be used to power buildings...

A guy from the website Math Problem Generator explains, in this video, how to easily multiply mixed fraction numbers. First, he demonstrates that you need to convert both of the numbers to improper fractions. Then he shows that you need to multiply the two resulting numbers together. The resulting fraction is also improper, so it needs to be converted back to a mixed number fraction. In the example that he provides, he shows that one and a half multiplied by one and a third becomes two and a ...

A representative from Math Problem Generator explains in this video that converting a simple fraction from its current state to a higher equivalent can be very simple. He explains the process neatly and provides a great example. To convert a fraction, you must multiply the numerator and the denominator by the exact same number. The example he shows is captured from the screen of a computer and is written out in some sort of a painting program. The example shows that four-ninths equals eight-e...
