(Use the four-step problem solving plan to solve.)* The four- step problem solving plan is: Explore (tell what you know and what you need to determine in the problem), Plan, Solve, and Examine (tell how you know your answer is correct). I did every part of the four-step problem solving plan except for the Examine. I can't figure out how to check my work. I would appreciate it if you would help me with this because my teacher has to teach us a lot of things, so he rarely has any time to answer questions. Again, I would be very happy if someone were to help me out! \n" ); document.write( "
