Today we practiced going back and forth between English and Mathematical Symbols.

The sum of three consecutive numbers beginning with x
x + (x+1) + (x+2)

The average of 3, 5, 9, and a number z
(3 + 5 + 9 + z) / 4
(the slash represents division)

HW - p 399 # 7-23 Odd only
#25-33

For example #33
-1 =  t 
        3
Multiply each side by 3
-1 x 3 =  t x 3
               3
-3 = t
Check your answer - Is -1 = t/3?  Yes!
