Hi: I am a parent of an eighth grader who is currently taking algebra. I have always enjoyed math and word problems so I usually check her homework with her. We are both stumped by one particular problem that is a area/word/equation problem? Should I type it now?

You will meet with resistance if you simply type the question without showing any work or attempts you have made to answer it. It's just policy here to not simply answer homework questions as too many kids post and expect answers given to them... so then what would they learn, you know?

So post it, show your answers or attempts at answers and someone that knows what they're doing will hopefully come by and give you help.

odinn7 I did post the equations that we were able to come up with and how far we got; this is probably on the second post...

Where did you post it? On this thread, or did you start a new thread?

The second post in this thread is Odinn's.
