Question 196247: I am pretty sure that this is the right Algebra i would like help with.
If you don't mind i'd like to ask a question...
If you can tell me a liitle bit about the question... Can you maybe please help me make an Algebra word problem or as my teacher likes to call them (brain teasers) It is where you make up a problem with Algebra, then you have to solve your own problem. But my problem is that I don't know how to make them! So if you could please help me, that would be fantastic! Thank you!
