For the show me app I did a problem. To be honest I loved this extra credit assignment because I got to use technology to use math. That’s why I really like IXL because you earn virtual awards like a fake dog and a fake hot dog stand. I brag about all my awards.

-5+7v=6(6v+4) So first we are going to multiply 6x6v

and also 6x4 because the 6 is right to the left of the parenthesis. So then our equation is made to…

-5+7v=36v+24 So then one of the things we can do is

subtract 7v from the two numbers with the variables next to them. So that then makes our problem…

-5=29v+24 So then what would or next step be??? That’s right subtract 24 from the two numbers

without variables, like -5 and 24. Which gives us…-29=29v

From now on it’s a pretty easy equation. V would be -1 because 29x-1= -29 so your answer is,

V= -1!

Let’s all be honest. Math is my absolute WORST subject and my least favorite as well. Math was easy as pie for me up until 4th Grade math with Mr. Thomas Seley. I really didn’t like Mr. Seley so having him as a teacher didn’t really motivate me to do a good job. Then 5th Grade. I liked Mr. Burdick but the math got harder and I was falling behind which I still am right now.

I still despise math but I think I am kind of doing better in math but not really. I need to prepare myself more for things and work harder on them. And also put more effort in and don’t rush through them to get to do other things.
