Storyboard Text
- I haven’t even studied and this is the hardest topic all year!!!!
- I have an EE math test tomorrow and I do not know if I will pass! My overall grade is an 86.
- I wonder what grade I will have to get to stop my grade from dropping?
- If I got a 87 on my last major what will I have to get to move my average up to an 90?
- Mean = average = 90 = (x + 87) ÷ 2 x + 87 = 18 x = 180 - 87 x = 93
- Now that I know I have to get at least a 93 on my test, I can study. It is 7pm and if I study for the next 2 hours, I might be able to pass the test.
- Olivia worrying about her test tomorrow. She did not study.
- Which expression is equivalent to 7a — 8 — 12a + 4? (EE)A. -9aB. 31aC.-5a - 4 D. 19a + 12
- RAISE
- Use RAISE because it is a multiple choice question. Use SPACE because it is and EE question. Only use the C in SPACE because we are combining like terms.
- SPACE
- Olivia wonders what the lowest possible score she can get is.
- Olivia come get your test.
- Ok this is it. I finally get my test back…
- Olivia realizes that she can not get less than an 93 on the test. She tries her best to study. (This is an additional math problem but it is not the one my comic is about)
- Name: OliviaScore: 94 : A
- Teacher Comments: Great use of RAISE!
- Study Guide: Question 1:A: Not the correct answer because you can not combine like terms therefore there can not be one term.B: Not the correct answer because you can not combine like terms therefore there can not be one term.D: MD: Someone might add 7a + 12a and add 8 + 4
- Show Work: 7a - 8 - 12a + 4Show Work: -5a - 4
