Ugh. This assignment is due tommorow (yeah, kinda doing this at the last minute :lol
, my geometry teacher didn't help any of us since he left the room for half the period and left us with the teacher's aide, who was correcting papers and probably had no clue what to do. And I couldn't pick anything up from the idiots who sit around me because they spent half the time trying to get this one guy to say something in Italian, and the one friend I have in that class didn't know how to do them either. Moving on to my point:
We're working on calculating the distance between two points on a number line. The big problem with this question is that there isn't any number line to go with them, so you have to figure the distance to solve for the variable (I assume. Again, I have no clue what I'm doing).
Here's the first one:
Find w if line segment XY is about equal to line segment TQ, XY=36 and TQ=4w+1.
Naturally, it's not that much text, there's the symbols for some of them.
And the second:
Find z if XY<MT, MT=59 and XY=5z-6.
You're supposed to give the reason for each stepd of your solution for both.
:?
The biggest thing that confuses me is that it seems you'd have to solve for TQ and XY instead of the variables, but it's the exact opposite. This is why I'm wondering why my Algebra teacher said I should take geometry instead of Algebra 2...
