john: Hey, Casey. What are you doing?
casey: I'm doing some math work, john.
john: Would you like some help?
casey: Yes, I would. My first question is n+3-5n+12. The answer I got is -6n+15.
john: That is incorrect.
john: it is actually -4n+15 because the positive n and one of the negative n cancel each other out
casey: oh i see, i have trouble with another question it 's ,2 + 4 bracket 3n+8 bracket.
john: what do you think the answer is ?
casey: i think it's 12n + 10 .
john: that's wrong it is 6n + 32.
casey: i see.
john: Well i got to go, nice talking to you casey.
casey: alright , bye john.

Bob: Hey, i'm bob.
Borock Obama: Hey, i'm borock Obama.
Bob: May i ask you a question Borock Obama.
Borock Obama: Sure, I guess, but what is the question about ?
Bob: it's about Math.
Borock Obama: okay.
Bob: What is n+3-5n+12.
Borock Obama: negative 6n+15 .
Bob: Wrong, the answer is -4n+15
Borock Obama: How so ?
Bob: The first "n" means positive 1, and the second "n" is negative 5n. The positive and the negative integers cancel each other out leaving negative 4n . Canceling out the positive integer and the negative integer was your mistake.
Borock Obama: I see. Give me another question please, i'll get it correct.
Bob: okay, 2 + 4 bracket 3n+8 bracket .
Borock Obama: 12n + 10, i'm sure of it.
Bob: That's wrong again, the real answear is 6n + 32.
Borock Obama: How , i was so sure it was 12n + 10 .
Bob: You didn't use Distributive Property.
Borock Obama: Seriously !
Bob: Yea.
Borock Obama: Well i have to leave now , BYE !
Bob: Nice talking to you Borock Obama. Bye !

Sally: Hey , Herbert!

Herbert: Hey Sally.

Sally: I had a math test today! I think i did VERY WELL!

Herbert: What questions were on the test Sally?

Sally: Well one question was N+3-5n+12. Thats pretty easy!

Herbert: Well , yes it is... If you know how to do it. How did you answer it?

Sally: Well i got -6n+15 ! It was really easy..

Herbert: Hmm , that does seem right. Well wouldnt it be -4+15

Sally: Well how did you get that?!

Herbert: Well , its simple. What i did was , I put the 2 variables together, so it was n-5n which is -4n and then i did 3+12 which is 15 so the answer would be -4n + 15.


Sally: are you sure?

Herbert: well im pretty sure it's correct , I took Advanced math!

Sally: Well you must be right then , but i must of got the next question right! 2 + 4(3n+8) and i got 12n plus 10 as my answer


Herbert: Hmm , well then Sally. I think you need some help with your math! That's not correct!

Sally: WHAT! It has to be. I thought I did good in math. Can you help me? What would the answer be?

Herbert: Well the question was , 2 + 4(3n+8) right? Well i would of done.. 4 times 3n which equals 12n. Then i would've done 4 times 8 which is 32. then i would've done. So now that you have 12n and 32 you would bring down the 2 + so the question is now 2+12n+32 then you would add 2+32 which is 34 then 12n. So your answer now is 12n+34! Do you get it?

Sally: YEAH ! I DO! Wow , i cant believe i made that mistake! Well thanks for your help!

Chapter 1: Integer Poetry

Adding Integers
Cinquain
Add
Combined, Increased
Plusing, Gaining
Has a plus sign
Sum
Subtracting Integers
Picture
Four minus 4=0
Five minus 5=0
(It is shaped like a minus sign)

Partitive Division
Haiku
Partitive divide
Answers to give a quotient
You divide numbers

Quotative Division
Free Verse Poetry

Quotative division is how many groups of this is in this
When I think of that i would want to take off my hat
When there are negatives I change them into positives
I do this because it is easier and more squeezier
Quotative Division is not as hard as Partitive Divison
Because you don't have to explain a lot.
You can take the drawings and cook them in a pot.

The "Rule for Multiplying" integers
Free Verse Poetry
Once upon a time, there lived a shoe
That shoe liked to eat tofu
One day,when he was sitting on his porch
He saw a sock with a torch
Shoe approached the thing
And the sock was about to sing
It was singing,"When you multiply an even amount of negative integers the product is positive."
Shoe understood what he said and asked for the other rule instead
It sang,"When you multiply an odd amount of negative integers the product is negative"
Shoe was amazed by these rules, he decided that he would teach fools
Shoe taught many things about these rules that sock sang
Then there was a BANG!
Shoe was dead, sock had killed him!

Chapter 2:Combining like terms and the Distributive Property
Hobo:Excuse me, do you have any spare change for me?
Cory:No, I'm sorry man, I only have enough for my lunch.
Hobo:Its alright. So you going to school?
Cory:Yes, I am on my way to get educated. Why are you asking?
Hobo:Oh, I was just wondering. Don't ruin your life because you will become like me.
Cory:Oh I see. Do you want to learn some math? I have 2 questions for you.
Hobo: Sure, what is the first question?
Cory:It is n+3-5n+12. All you need to do is simplify it for me please.
Hobo:Oh ok then. Lets see, if I combine the like terms and do this and that I would get -6n+15 as my answer. I'm sure of it.
Cory:I'm sorry dude but the answer you came up with is wrong. See you have to combine the like terms which are n and -5n. The answer should be -4n. Next, you should combine 3 and 12 and you would get the sum of 15. When you do all of this thinking, you should get -4n+15 as the simplified form of n+3-5n+12.
Hobo:Wow, you are smart kid! You, showed me up for sure man. Thanks for teaching me how to do this question. Now, what is the other question, hopefully I get this one right.
Cory: Thank you and your very welcome. I'm glad you learned a lot form just that one question. The next question is 2+4(3n+8). This question has to do with distributive property. Good luck!
Hobo:Hmm, this is a hard question but I am thinking the answer is 12n+10. Please tell me I got this question right.
Cory:I'm sorry to burst your bubble again dude. First, you need to find the distributive property which is 4(3n+8). When you multiply 4 and 3n you get 12n and if you multiply 4 and 8 you get 32. Now, the question should be 2+12n+32. Next you combine the like terms which in this case is 2 and 32. The sum should be 34. The simplified form of the question should be 12n+34. You feeling me right now?
Hobo: Oooooh, so I needed to multiply 8 and 4 too. That's what I forgot to do.
Cory:You are exactly right buddy boy.
Hobo: I learned a lot today. Thanks kid.
Cory:Anytime buddy. Hey, I just found a 100 dollar bill in my back pocket. Here you go, you can have it.
Hobo:Thank you very much kid.
Cory:No problem. I'm going to get on my way now. Good bye.
Hobo:Have a nice day!



Chapter 3: One Step Equation solving
Adding Question

In an addition question you have to add the opposite which in this case is -3. When you do this, the two opposites will cancel each other out. Then you find the value of N.

Subtraction Question

This subtraction question has the same explanation as the adding question.
Multiplication Question

This multiplication question may look hard but it is very easy. You divide the n's by how many n's are there and you do the same to the answer. Then you should find the value of n.
Division Question

This question is hard to explain and when I find out how to explain it i will update on this.
