Worked in class on Homework 3.4 and 6.3. If not finished in class, they need to finish it for homework. We are working on equation and inequality solving. There can be a solution ( like x=4) or no solution or all real numbers as a solution. This is causing a little bit of stress. Ask your son or daughter to solve: 3x - 4 = 2x + 8 - 5x and explain the answer.
