Today is Math Monday. In this blog I will be blogging about the hardest lesson in math that I have done. The hardest lesson for me was combining like terms. This was hard for me, because I was getting confused on which term you add together or subtract. This is what this problem looks like -2x+5-(-2). The first step would be to add or subtract all of the whole by them selves numbers. In this case 5 and -2, you would subtract the 5 and -2. That would be 3. Then, since there is not any number like 2x, you would just leave it alone, so the awnser would be 2x+3. After a while, I kind of understanded this lesson much better.

   The key to understanding something is to really pay attention to it. When I finally decided to pay attention to it it made more sense. The more I payed attention to this, I was able to make a connection as to how to solve the problem. Sometimes we tend to shutdown and stress out if we don't understand how to solve a problem, but then I relize to take a deep breath and start all over from the first step. Eventually that little step leads me to solving the problem. Solving a math problem is a proscess that unfourtunatly, if you don't understand it from the start you have to start all over.
