College Algebra Discussion

Please follow the instruction below:

Review the examples of “Weekly Discussion Guide” listed on the MAT110 Study Guide on Blackboard.

Choose one example you would like to refer to. Design a new problem based on what you choose.

Mention the topic and example number for reference. For example, 1.1 Linear Equations in One Variable, Ex5: Solving a Linear Equations with Fractions. 

Leave at least TWO “meaningful” comments  to peer’s posts per week. Be ready to discuss about the problem you created. You are also required to respond to the comments of your posts.
