And it has also led to lots of frustration when I back into the answer and my little cherub shakes his/her head and says"Ms ...... says that's not the right way to do it" They use terminology that is foreign to me. I even suggested a glossary of terms for parents to help us understand. I had all the algebras, trig and analytical geom. when I was in school. I do know that if Tim left New York city traveling south on a train at 75 mph and Bill left Richmond traveling north on a train at 65mph., somewhere in Maryland there is going to be one hell'uva train wreck.

I had the same reactions from my kid when it came to math and figuring it out...she'd say no Ma and scribble down 6 lines of #'s x #'s =#'s +='s........makes you wanna scream! They're taking out common sense!

X+4=Y
I know this is easy, but solve it using the substitution method showing all your work

OKAY ...Im sure she will let you all have it once school gets to rockin...so far she's doing it on her on brain fuel! WHICH IS WONDERFUL!nhbenz said:ellehciM, I'll help out. I happen to work for the company that develops/assesses the MCAS (the Massachusetts equivalent of the SOL testing). -Ben

I know this is easy, but solve it using the substitution method showing all your work
X+Y=X+(X+4)=2X+4 2X+4=8 2X=8-4 2X=4
X=2 Y=6

4 x pi x r(squared) gives the surface area of a sphere.

Sorry, my pies are round. But if you mean PI times D then you have a circle.
And this from an old fart. Give me something hard.
