In chemistry we reviewed particle theory and then learned about the differences between physical and chemical changes. Tomorrow we will start our exploration into pH. We will be doing an inquiry exploration to try and figure out a way to determine which of the 6 unknown solutions are acids and which are bases. We also continued practicing how to use algebra to solve word problems |

Question:
How old am I if 400 reduced by 2 times my age is 244?
Let X = my age
The Expression is: 400 - 2x
The equation is: 400 - 2x = 244
400 - 2x + 2x = 244 + 2x
400 = 244 + 2x
400 - 244 = 244 - 244 + 2x
156 = 2x
156 / 2 = 2x / 2
78 = x
