chapter 2:

Mr. Casey: hey kid, nice play today.

kid: hey Mr. Casey. thanks

Mr. Casey: what's wrong ? you seem sad. tell me about it.

kid: oh yeauh, well. my coach said i can't play for the coming up championships. until i boost up my math grades .

Mr. Casey: what do you need help on ? i can help you for sure. i was a top student in math before.

kid: nice . i have a couple of questions, that im really confused of. first is n+3-5n+12 and i got negative 6n+15.

Mr. Casey: thats wrong first you have to combine the like terms which is n-5n and 3+12 so try it .

kid: okay . n-5n first thats easy . its 4n now, 3+12 is 15 0then its now 4n+15. oh my god , combinig like terms is so easy . but i still cant do distributive property 2+4 open bracket 3n+8 close brackets? and i got 12n+10?

Mr. Casey: oh, your dealing with brackets here. well 12n+10 is wrong you have to do the brackets first .and to do that , you multiply 4 by each number inside the brackets.
kid: oh, then it go like 4 times 3n= 12n and 4 times 8=32 then together it should look like 12n+32+2 then you add 32+2=34 and the total answer is 12n+34?

kid: oh, then it go like. 4 times 3n= 12n and 4 times 8=32 then together it should look like 12n+32+2 then you add 32+2=34 and the total answer is 12n+34?

Mr. Casey: ahhh , yes i know you can do it. now go make your math grades high and play that championship well i gotta go, see ya

kid: yeah , thank you so much Mr. Casey. you made everything seem so easy. ahh im going to go rock that championships down. YEAH . your the best.
