How do I write the expression?
Decide which fruit you want the variable to be- there is not a wrong one to choose.Read how you can find the prices. What did you do to the price of the fruit you chose to find that price?
If it helps, think of a number to put in place of the price of your fruit. What did you do to that number? Replace the price of the one you picked with the letter you chose to represent it.

How do I divide by 3/5?
You multiply by 5/3.Why do I subtract both sides by 2 when it says"+2"?
When we solve equations we are undoing the things that were done to the variable. Think about it:1+2-2=1 2+2-2=2 3+2-3=3
We do this to both sides to keep the balance.
I was in G.T. seminar during math today and you gave me the stack of papers (Linear Functions). Do I do the entire pack for homework?
ReplyDeleteNo, that is the next chapter from your book. Just do 2.1. The blog had some issues last night so the post didn't work. I will have answer from 1, 3-8 for you on here today. They are also in the hallway.
