Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Combine the baking soda, cornstarch, and water in a saucepan. Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it starts to turn solid. Once the ball forms, take the dough out of the saucepan and place it down onto a sheet of parchment paper so that it can cool. Add the food coloring and essential oils, if desired, and knead until well-blended. Play with the playdough.

Answer: Stir the ingredients together briskly until the baking soda and cornstarch dissolve. Don't add the food coloring and essential oils yet. Place the saucepan on the stove and turn the heat to medium. Stir it constantly as it cooks. After about 4 to 5 minutes, it will start to bubble. It will then start to solidify and clump into a ball. Every so often, carefully flip it over and knead it. This will help speed up the cooling process. Be careful, however; the dough will be hot! The essential oils are not necessary, but they will give your playdough a nice smell. The food coloring is only necessary if you wish to make colored playdough. Keep kneading the dough until it is an even color; there should be no streaks or swirls. You can use even less food coloring. Even a single drop will give it a lovely pastel color. Smoosh it, pull it, and make figures with it. You can even roll it out and cut out shapes using cookie cutters. When you are done playing with it, store it in an airtight container.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Unplug your TV and wait for it to cool down. Mix equal parts vinegar and water in a spray bottle. Spray the vinegar and water mixture onto a microfiber cloth. Wipe the screen in small, circular motions with your cloth. Dry the screen by wiping it with a clean, dry microfiber cloth.

Answer: Before you clean your TV, turn it off and unplug it from the wall. Turn the TV off first using the remote before you unplug it. Unplugging the TV when it's still on can damage the electrical circuits. If the TV isn't cool when you clean it, the screen will heat the water and this will damage the screen. Use a measuring cup to mix exactly 1 part water and 1 part white vinegar in your spray bottle. If you don't have a measuring cup, use a glass and try to be as close as you can when mixing the ingredients. It's always better to use more water than it is to use more vinegar. If you're using a spray bottle that used to hold another cleaning product, pour dish soap into it. Rinse it out a few times until suds stop forming. Let it dry when you're finished. Don't use paper towels, tissues, or abrasive pads to wipe fingerprints from your TV screen as these products will scratch it. A microfiber cloth will remove the fingerprints without damaging the screen. A couple of sprays of the mixture onto the cloth should be enough. Circular motions will ensure that you don't leave streaks on the screen when you wipe it. Gently wipe the screen so you don't damage it. If there are fingerprints on the frame of the screen, wipe them off in circular motions with the microfiber cloth. Once you've wiped the entire screen with the damp cloth, you can dry it using another cloth. Wipe in small, circular motions once more and pay special attention to any remaining fingerprints or dust on the screen.  Let the TV screen dry for another 15 minutes after you've wiped it. Plug the TV in once it's dry.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Make sure the exponents have the same base. Subtract the exponents. Place the new exponent above the original base.

Answer:
You can only divide numbers with exponents if they have the same base. If they don't have the same base, you'll have to manipulate them until they do, if it's possible. As a beginner, start with a sample problem in which both numbers with exponents already have the same base—for instance, 38 ÷ 35. Simply subtract the second exponent from the first. Don't worry about the base for now. In the sample problem: 8 - 5 = 3. Simply write the new exponent above the original base. That’s it! Therefore: 38 ÷ 35 = 33.
