As we continue in our study of algebra I hope that we begin to see how it can be used outside of the classroom. Your assignment this morning is to create a real-life word problem that uses algebra.
After you have posted your problem please solve three problems that other students have created. When posting your answers be sure to thoroughly explain your answers.
Good luck!
