In math this week we are learning about Radical operations and Equations. In the beginning of the week I found this week challenging because I didn’t have any prior knowledge with this unit. After we did the skills check in then middle of the week I have felt more comfterable with the equations. It really helps me when I do group work because they always help me and Im never afraid to ask questions. I need to start to study this weekend for our test coming up but I hope we can do more review and group work because it really helps me out. When I was doing the word problem on the skills check I got really confused on what to do. I had to use my creative thinking skills and try and work it out because Math is all about fixing problems and finding solutions. I had to find the perimiter of the two shapes. I didn’t realize that we had to cancel out half of the side and add one more side to make it equal.
It wouldn’t let me download so I had to put a link in. Please let me know if you can’t see it.
In this Picture we are solving for x. The first step you have to do is square both sides of the equation. The second step is to -7 to both sides to try to get the x by itself. The last step is to divide both sides by 2. The final answer for this equation is x=9.
