(Scene: Sister is having trouble with her arithmetic assignment at the dining room table.) Sister: (Frustrated) This algebra problem is beyond confusing! (Calmly) Alright, let's have a look. What's the issue? As she reads from her textbook, Sister says, "Solve for x: 2x 3 = 7." Me: All right, let's dissect it. To isolate x is the aim. Initially, we must remove the " 3" from the left side. Do you believe we can accomplish that? Sister: (Contemplating) Is it possible to deduct 3 from each side? Me: That's right! Now, how does the equation appear? Sister: (2x = 4) according to my math. Instructor: Excellent! We now must eliminate the "2" that is multiplying x. How are we going to do that? Sister: Let's divide both sides by two! (Excited) Me: You're correct! What is the value of x, then? Sister: (Giggling) Two! Me: Excellent work! You're doing it! (Scene concludes with Tutor feeling gratified and Sister feeling successful.)
