This one is a bit tough. The formula isn't hard, its just the steps to figure it out. Remember the hints and definitions. It will help a lot

This class was the best science class I've ever taken. The information was engaging and easy to read. I recommend this be one of the first classes to sign up for. its worth it. Wish I had knew about Sophia years ago.
