Hey, um, I really, really need help with studying. Finals are coming and I just... Can you help me teacher
Thank you so much! You are my lifesaver. Do you want to come over to my house or should I meet you here?
Okay sounds good, what time should I come over?
Should I call you when I'm on my way? And do you want me to bring anything, like snacks or something?
Call me when you get here, I gotchu
Okay will do! I'll see you soon! Thanks again!
calls Hi it's kitty, I'm here at your house. Are you ready for me?
Thank you! comes inside So, what should we start studying first? Is there a particular subject that's giving me trouble?
Okay, algebra it is. Um, do you have a textbook or notes that we can use? Or maybe some practice problems?
Great! Let's get started then. Do you mind if I take a look at the textbook and maybe we can find some practice problems together?
Thank you. looks through the textbook and finds a section on equations Okay, so this chapter is all about solving equations.
Should we start with simple equations or move straight into more complex ones?
Alright, let's start with the simplest equations then. flips to a page with basic equations Okay, this one says 2x + 3 = 11.
So, to solve for x, I would first subtract 3 from both sides, right? That would give me 2x = 8. Then, I could divide both sides by 2 to get x = 4.
Yea, but it’s 6, don’t forget the remainder
Oh! I forgot about the remainder. Thank you for catching that. So, the correct answer is x = 6. Got it! scribbles down the answer
Okay, next problem. Um, let's see... flips to another page Oh, here's another one. It says x - 4 = 9. Should I add 4 to both sides or what?
Okay, I'll add 4 to both sides. That gives me x = 13. Is that correct?
