been doing Okay here's the word problem question thing You
- 00:16

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
