Hey! Uh... C-could you h-help me with my math homework?

Please? I'm really stuck and I would love to have someone help me out. Plus, I've been feeling a bit lonely lately and it would be nice to have some company.
UnicornGarden
Sure thing, Kendra. I'll be more than happy to help you out. How about we start with that math homework? Let's see if we can't make some sense out of those numbers for you. 🤗

Oh, thank you so much! You're a lifesaver! Okay, let's get started then. I have this problem here... x + 5 = 25. Can you help me solve for x?
UnicornGarden
Alright, let's tackle that problem. First, we need to isolate the variable 'x' on one side of the equation. To do that, we'll want to get rid of the 5 that's being added to it. We can do that by subtracting 5 from both sides. Does that make sense?
Kendra
AI roleplay episode
O-oh! Okay, s-so we're subtracting 5... But why?
UnicornGarden
Because when we add 5 to 'x', we get 25. So, if we remove the 5 that's added to 'x', we're left with just 'x'. Then, we can figure out what number 'x' is. Does that make sense?
Kendra

O-oh! That makes total sense! Thank you! So, if we subtract 5 from both sides, we get x = 20, right?
UnicornGarden
Bingo! You nailed it, Kendra. So, 'x' is equal to 20. Great job! Now, how about we move on to the next problem? I'm curious to see if you're as sharp with fractions as you are with whole numbers. 😉

Oh, uhm... F-fractions? Um... okay... Let's see... Oh! Here's one... 1/2 + 1/4 =? What do I do with these numbers?
UnicornGarden
Alright, let's deal with those fractions. The first step is to find a common denominator for both numbers. In this case, it's 4. So, we can rewrite each fraction with a denominator of 4. Does that make sense?
Kendra
AI roleplay episode
U-uhm... y-yes, it makes sense! So, um... I would do... 2/4 + 1/4, right?
UnicornGarden
That's right, Kendra! You're doing great. Now, just add those two numbers together.
Kendra
AI roleplay episode
Okay! So, 2/4 + 1/4 = 3/4. Is that right?
UnicornGarden
Perfect! You got it, Kendra. The answer is indeed 3/4. Good work! Now, let's see if you can handle some algebraic expressions. 😊

A-algebraic expressions? Uh... sure, let's give it a shot. Um... here's one... 2x + 3. What do I do with this?
UnicornGarden
Alright, Kendra. Let's break down this expression into simpler terms. The first step is to determine what 'x' equals. Since we don't know what it is, we'll represent it as a variable. This expression is asking us to add 2 times 'x' and 3 together. Got it?
Kendra
AI roleplay episode
Oh, I think so... So, we're multiplying 2 by 'x', and then adding 3? Like... 2x + 3 = 5x?
UnicornGarden
Not quite, Kendra. The 'x' in the expression isn't being multiplied by 2, it's being added to 2. So, it's 2x + 3, not 5x. Let's try another one, shall we? It'll help solidify your understanding of these expressions. 😌
Kendra
AI roleplay episode
Okay! Sure, let's try another one. What's the next expression?
UnicornGarden
4x - 7. Remember, the key is to understand what each term is doing. So, let's break it down. The term '4x' is asking us to multiply 4 by 'x', while the term '-7' is simply subtracting 7 from the result. Make sense?
Kendra
AI roleplay episode
Yep! So, if we follow the order of operations, we get... um... 4x - 7 = x - 3, right?
UnicornGarden
Close, Kendra! You almost had it. Remember, we're not changing the value of 'x', just manipulating the numbers being added or subtracted to it. So, the correct answer is 4x - 7 = x - 3. Great job! 😊
Kendra
AI roleplay episode
I-I'm so confused... Can you explain it again?
UnicornGarden
Alright, Kendra. Let's start fresh. This expression, 4x - 7, means we're starting with whatever 'x' is, then subtracting 7. Think of it like taking away 7 cookies from a jar. If there were 10 cookies, now there are 3 left. 4x means there are 4 groups of 'x' cookies. In this case, 4x - 7 is asking us to find out how many cookies are left after subtracting 7 from 10. Got it?
Kendra
AI roleplay episode
Oh! So... 4x - 7 = 10 - 7, right?
UnicornGarden
Yes, Kendra! You got it. 4x - 7 = 3. See how much easier it is when we break things down? 😌
Kendra

Phew! That was a lot to take in... But I think I understand now. Thanks for breaking it down so slowly for me. My brain is kinda numb from all the math though, do you wanna get some ice cream or something?
UnicornGarden
Sure, Kendra! I could use a little brain freeze too. Ice cream sounds perfect. What flavor are you in the mood for?
Kendra
AI roleplay episode
Mmm... S-sounds yummy! Any flavor is fine with me, just as long as it's cold and creamy.
UnicornGarden
Good choice, Kendra! Cold and creamy is the best kind of ice cream. Come on, let's go grab some before we both melt!
Kendra

Ugh... This has been such a long day. Math was so exhausting, and now my brain is fried. Can't wait to relax and eat some ice cream. I'm starving.
UnicornGarden
Speaking of food, did you eat lunch today?
Kendra

Lunch? Oh god, I completely forgot. I haven't eaten anything since breakfast. Do you mind if we get ice cream to go?
