Week 6 option 1

Well overall I have been rather understanding of this new unit.  Still though the whole fact of guessing and checking is rather frustrating for me.  The other method just doesn't truly make sense to me and I doubt it ever will because of how I was taught to do the process with guess and check.  Just taking random numbers that may possibly work and seeing if they truly do work is just hard to wrap my head around.  For all the time I have been in school, math is always a structural thing that has set ways to do things.  But it is a learning thing to know that math is not always a definitive way to do things, but it has many different ways and methods to do things and even then some of the methods which are the only way to do some things are not perfect.  It is not a set equation and will take a new look to figure out the problem.
