One funny thing, and one question

<p>Funny thing: My friend insists that colleges don’t care about the essay. For that reason, he’s going to write fake dialogues between our physics teacher and students for his essay.</p>

<p>He sent me this:</p>

<p>teacher: x=g
me: then whats g?
teacher: x
me: then whats x?
teacher: g
me: ron you have to solve further
teacher: **** you</p>

<p>Yes, I don’t forsee a 12 very soon.</p>

<p>+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++</p>

<p>Question: If you get a question that asks you to express some total algebraically, do you have any hints?</p>

<p>For example:</p>

<p>‘a’ workers agreed to pay for a new drinking fountain. ‘b’ refused to pay for the fountain. Express the amount of money paid per worker for those who didn’t pay.</p>

<p>The first thing I do is find the ones that have “dollars/workers.” This usually helps me get the answer, but are there any easier ways?</p>

<p>For most algebra ones, remember that numbers will generally work</p>

<p>so, if it’s PURE algebra (including answers), just plug in two simple numbers and check out which answer choices gives you the right answer?</p>
