I am in 7th grade advanced math and I have questions about my homework but my teacher won't help me. My question is: 4x-9=3.5x-9. I was absent the day we learned these types of equations with variables on both sides. My teacher says I am supposed to remember these types of equations from last year, which would be 6th grade, but we started common core this year so this is all new to me. Also, I am supposed to know this because I am going to Algebra 1 next year. Sorry for the detailed response. Could you please help me? Thanks, Jillian </SPAN>\n" );
