A mathish post

Here is an algebra question that I had to answer today in math

Solve 7w + 16 = 9w -8

and here's another one

Solve 3(7+x) = 5(-2+x)

They are not toooooo hard when you get used to how to do that sort of problem.
But y'all can try to figure it out fer yourself.

p.s. Put your answer as a comment.

Ah! Algebra is so much fun! Let me know how this sounds:

w=12
x=15.5

Sounds good.

However I would have to disagree with you on the point which you made remarking that algebra was fun. Fun is a relative term.
I don't think that algebra is fun, it can sometimes be amusing, but it seems to just be plain annoying.

But that is my opinion.

Oh Joanna, I didn't always love algebra. It was a long, hard struggle. But I've learned to love it and now I do it for fun. I'm so excited to lots of my geometry homework this week has algebra in it. That makes it much easier!

The Lord's Day is almost here!! See you very soon...

Yes, as a matter of fact, in nearly 12 hours.

Ok...yes..I did not peek at Sarah's answers although I am almost certain that I got the second one wrong...

w = 12
x = 4

Well !~((Lydia))~!, If you want the answer, look at Sarah's answer :)
