When factoring, find the common factor (can be a variable OR a number!) and take it out of ALL your terms. It MUST be in all terms in order for you to take it out. For example, we cannot take the x out of the expression 2x + 5y + 7x because the 5y does not have an x.
To solve for a variable, use PEMDAS backwards and take variables/numbers away from each side, step by step, until the variable you are solving for is by itself. You should have the SAME VARIABLES in your answer as when you began.
Shout out to Sandra Hatcher and LeDarius Henderson for getting the ultra-challenging candy question, and shout out to Shanice Prater, Candace Latham, Khadijah Hamilton, Kassie Tittle, Kyndra Hunter, Brittany Ivory, and Regina Jordan for staying after class to learn how to solve it!
