Math Help
Ask your teacher first, of course! But, if you still struggle, you might want to take a look at MathPapa , which is an algebra calculator, showing step by step directions. You might also want to look at the Photomath app, which is available through the AppleStore and GooglePlay. Both of these give step by step directions. (I wish they had had something like this when I was taking Accounting!)

Today, 4/29: Nesta N. & Amorre W. Happy birthday! May this be the happiest of days for you! If it is your birthday, and you don't see your name listed, please let me know in the comment section below. Brain Break - Learn Something New
