1) Embryonic poultry tallies are inadvisable

2) Plasmic density exceeds that of H2O

3) A dyad is mandatory for Latin dancing.

4) Existance equals nutritional substence

5) A man who defeneds himself in court is experditiously relieved of his wherewithal

Since there are 11 teams - seems odd. Perhaps there are computational issues? This has to have been asked before.

Okay, my daughter seems to be having an issue with 7th grade math. Algebra may just very well be a form of satan, I don't understand it...

But here's the problem:
-7a+3(a-c)+5c

Students are encouraged to use the distributive property, which I also don't know. So could you please explain this problem out step-by-step so she will have a shot at getting the other problems right?

Thanks!

First of all, I am a sophmore in high school and began my serious college search last year. I'm curious about majors and minors. Do they have to relate at all? For example, I'm considering Music and Marine Biology for my major, and International Studies for my minor. Is that acceptable? And is studying those different things possible?

One more thing: Does anyone know what the average college marching band season is and how often they practice? Because I'm in that now and want to continue it in college but it depends on the schedule because I also want to study abroad for a semester each year.

Thanks!

I'm in 9th grade and i think our vote for colors on or program was unfair. I would of thought she would put colors that everybody likes on their and not leave people out. I thought all the ideas i had was left out or stupid for them.Our colors are black and red and i absolutely hate it. Wearing black stuff for me is like being dirty and red is the color of blood... The colors to me represent a gang or killer. What do you guys think? was it fair or not?

I'm a first year second grade teacher. I did not major in education, rather I took a certification program for career changers, so I'm learning as I go.

I find it really annoying that the parent of one of my TAG students just pops in whenever he feels like it. It's not excessive, but I feel like I have to be on my toes because you never know when he's going to just show up.

He signs in at the office first, then he just opens the door and comes in and sits down. He walks around the back of the room looking at stuff, then he goes back to watching.

WTF? I'm already nervous and learning a job as I go. :-(

For a writing class I am taking, could you give me a sentence? Any sentence, about anything. Just as long as it has the word, or a form of the word : Drum. ( I.E. Drumming, Drummed, Drummer) Feel free to attach words on the end such as "Drummer Boy" etc. or give me more then one sentence.

Believe it or not, this will help me out without using your sentence.

Thanks much!
