Question 6

During this term we will be using this tool to support both YOU--by showing your work and ME--by giving you feedback on your work. Click the show your button below. Use your chromebook pad to draw a smiley face and write your name. Then use the text tool to write a message to me about how you're feeling today...happy? sad? tired? annoyed?

Question 7
7.
EVEN IF YOU ALREADY KNOW WHAT TO DO HERE...PLEASE HUMOR ME AND MAKE SURE THAT YOU ARE ABLE TO UPLOAD..EVEN IF IT'S TAKING A PICTURE WITH YOUR CHROMEBOOK CAMERA!!
Another handy feature about this platform is that you can upload pictures and documents into the Show Your Work section. There are multiple ways to do this.
My favorite way is to log into go formative on your phone's web browser (if using an apple phone use the chrome app and log into it with your school credentials)...please do so now. Use your school credentials.
You should be able to view this exact assignment that you are working on, in real time. Take a selfie or a picture of something on or around your desk (be respectful!!!) and upload it into the program that you just opened on your phone in the 'show your work' for this question.
If you're having issues, lean on your shoulder partner or type 'I need help!!' in the answer box below.

Now let's try a math problem:
Use the show your work feature below to step through this algebra problem. Be sure to start with the problem and then show each step of your work for solving. I've given you an example inside show your work. (feel free to use the text or drawing tool...as long as I can read what you wrote!)
go to: https://www.desmos.com/testing/virginia/scientific for a calculator.
When you are finished, type the correct answer in the box below (note: type only the numeric answer in the box...DO NOT INCLUDE 'x=' )--round to the tenths place or answer as an improper fraction
