Facing a Challenge

A question I found difficult during the first chapter was question 4 on the 1.7 practice handout. When I first tried it was a new concept that I wasn’t very familiar with. so I tried using the knowledge I have to solve the equation but all my answers didn’t fit into the problem and its restrictions. I used the answer key on OneNote to look through the work for the first couple steps to get back on the right path. If I ever got stuck again I would look back to the notes. If the notes didn’t show me what I needed I would ask my neighbors to see what they did. I needed to remember to do simple math and factor like we did at the start of the year. As well as trying to move all terms to one side to make one side of the equation = 0. Next time I encounter a difficult problem I will recall everything we have learned so far in this course and remember simple math steps and use what I know to solve.
