nerdy finds your gaps, then teaches them on a whiteboard, out loud. For the SAT, ACT, AP or any class.

Transcript: Here is the equation we want to solve. We want the values of x that make this true. The plan is to factor it into two brackets, then use the fact that a product is zero only when one factor is zero. We need two numbers that multiply to twelve and add to negative seven. Negative three and negative four do both, so they give us the brackets. If two numbers multiply to zero, one of them must be zero. So we set each bracket equal to zero and treat them as two small equations. Now add three to the first one and four to the second. Each time, we do the same thing to both sides, so x ends up alone. Let’s check x equals three. Nine minus twenty-one plus twelve is zero, and sixteen minus twenty-eight plus twelve is zero too. Both work, so the idea to keep is this: factor, then set each factor to zero.

SAT Math · Ratios & percentages

A $60 jacket is discounted by 25%. What is the sale price?

  • A$15
  • B$45

$15 is the discount, not the price: $60 − $15 = $45.

Good instinct to find 25% first! That $15 is what comes off. So what’s left to pay?

Solve it yourself, one step at a time.

You pick each next step. If you choose the wrong one, nerdy shows you why it fails.

AP Physics 1 · Forces

A 3 kg cart feels 15 N to the right and 6 N to the left. What is its acceleration?

  • A2 m/s²
  • B3 m/s²
  • C5 m/s²
  • D7 m/s²

Net force 15 − 6 = 9 N, and 9 N ÷ 3 kg = 3 m/s².
