So, today I am going to be explaining what would be a better deal-- a 33.8 oz (liter) bottle of mountain due, or a 12 pack.  I had to research the prices and figure out the total ounces.  Well, here is what I did to figure this out.
     First, I looked up the prices and found that a 12 pack is worth $2.99, and a 1 liter bottle is worth $.99.  Now, you have to remember that prices may vary depending on the store that you go to, to buy the soda.  Then, I did the math and found that a 12 pack of Mountain Dew would be a total of 144 oz.  A liter of Mountain Dew though, is only 33.8 oz.  So, round that to 40.  If you buy a 12 pack, you are getting about 104 ounces more for $2 more.  That would be a much better deal.  All in all, with the info I found, a 12 pack of Mountain Dew would be a better deal than a liter.

Welcome back!  I cannot believe it is the start of a new year and a new semester.  One thing that I am going to write about today is one thing I remember from the past semester is math.  Well, I remember practically the entire lessons we worked on.  I specifically remember one about distributive property and plugging in slopes to find an equation on a graph.
     Since I remember a lot from last semester I am going to explain how to do a problem that pretty much sums everything we learned up.  Here are the equations : y=1/2x-7       2y+4x=8 
There are two ways to solve this, you can plug it in or make a balance equation.
The balance equation would be : 1/2x-7 = 2y+4x=8
However if you plug it in like this : 2(1/2x-7)+4x=8, that makes it a lot easier.
     Now, to solve the problem, you can use either method.  I am going to use the plug in method.  First, you would distribute the 2 to 1/2x-7 and would end up with : x-14+4x=8.  Then, you would combine like terms.  Finish the problem from there and that explains what we learned in the past semester.
