In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Let's say you're working with the following problem: (x + 3)/6 = 2/3 To cross multiply, simply multiply the denominator of each fraction by the numerator of the other fraction. You'll be essentially multiplying in two diagonal lines. So, multiply the first denominator, 6, by the second numerator, 2, to get 12 on the right side of the equation. Multiply the second denominator, 3, by the first numerator, x + 3, to get 3 x + 9 on the left side of the equation. Here's how it will look:  (x + 3)/6 = 2/3 6 x 2 = 12 (x + 3) x 3 = 3x + 9 3x + 9 = 12 Combine the constant terms in the equation to subtract 9 from both sides of the equation. Here's what you do:  3x + 9 - 9 = 12 - 9 3x = 3 Just divide 3x and 9 by 3, the x term coefficient, to solve for x. 3x/3 = x and 3/3 = 1, so you're left with x = 1. To check your work, just plug x back in to the original equation to make sure that it works. Here's what you do:  (x + 3)/6 = 2/3 (1 + 3)/6 = 2/3 4/6 = 2/3 2/3 = 2/3
Summary: Write down the problem. Cross multiply. Combine like terms. Isolate x by dividing each term by the x coefficient. Check your work.

If the bird is jumping from one perch to another continuously then your bird is restless. You should immediately pay attention because something is bothering your bird and it is trying to communicate with you. Birds also tend to show this behavior when they are seeking attention or just want to come out of the cage. If this behavior is accompanied by clicks and vocalization, such as loud chattering, more often than not, your bird wants to play with you and is demanding your attention. If the bird remains still and its feathers are tightly packed close to the body, your bird has spotted some danger. It is trying to remain as still as possible to avoid being spotted. Birds have a lot of natural enemies and they exhibit this behavior to escape unwanted attention.  Birds tend to fix their eyes on the source of the danger. Watch the bird closely. It is trying to warn you and point you to the source of the threat. Do not pick or move your bird while it is exhibiting these behaviors. If your bird is looking outside the window, close the window blinds and then go to your bird to comfort it. Your bird could feel threatened by anything, including a new couch or a new lamp in your living room. To find out if your bird associates danger with a new article in the room, walk towards the article and then stay there for a minute. Touch the new article and be relaxed. Birds will quickly learn there is no reason to be worried. Your bird may be trying to show its dominance if it raises its head and perches above your eye level. It may also begin to "growl" to show its aggression. This behavior may occur if your bird feels threatened or protective due to having strangers in the room or a person nearby that your bird is not fond of.

One-sentence summary -- Look for restlessness. Notice signs that your bird has spotted danger. Identify signs of aggression.

Q: Take semi-frozen steak and cut it thinly. Fry up onions and peppers and remove when ready, about 5 minutes. Start to cook the steak, chopping thoroughly with a sharp spatula when almost cooked. Mix your onions and peppers with your chopped steak. You have two options here about how to heat up your roll and/or cheez wiz:  Option 1: Toast your hoagie roll and then smother the hot bread with cheez wiz. This will give the bread a nice crispiness, but the cheez wiz won't stay hot as long. Option 2: Warm your cheez wiz in the microwave. Pick up melted cheese with a spatula and deposit on the roll.
A: Follow the same general process to cook the meat. Line your hoagie roll with a generous portion of cheez wiz. Scoop steak and onions into roll coated with cheez wiz. Enjoy. Finished.

Problem: Article: . This is a hugely important part of being determined and achieving your goals. Negative thinking will lower your resolve and even cause you to give up on your goals. Positivity, on the other hand, allows you to persevere. Learn to identify the negative language you use on yourself and situations. For example, if you find yourself thinking "I'm so weak I can't even do one push-up," change that thought. Instead, think more positively by reframing that thought to something like, "I have trouble doing push-ups now, but if I stick with my routine, I will gradually be able to do them." . Often, when you get feedback or work on improving yourself, you focus on the things that need to be improved. This is a good strategy, but you should also figure out your strengths and use those to help you stay determined to achieve your goals.  Have friends/coworkers/family/teachers give you examples of times when you excelled (when you used your strengths). Recognize common themes throughout the examples that portray your  character strengths. For example, if people choose examples of times when you were really resourceful, you might leverage your resourcefulness to help you reach your goals (e.g., researching the best savings account interest rates to help you save the $10,000). . Confidence is the ability to believe in yourself, no matter how bad things are looking. Self-confident people experience a hurdle and believe that they can overcome it. This, in a nutshell, is determination. Determination is seeing a roadblock and believing that you can get past it, not necessarily because you have evidence that you've done so in the past, but because you believe in your abilities.  To portray confidence on the outside, walk tall, lift your chin and stand in a power pose (hands on hips). The more you practice acting self-confident, the more you'll trick your brain into believing that you are. To feel confident on the inside, stop comparing yourself to other people. Comparisons zap your self-esteem. Drop the comparisons by wearing a rubber band on your wrist and snapping it against your skin each time you catch yourself comparing. Flexibility is the art of being open to change. Just as a person doing yoga bends without breaking, neither should you in the face of challenges. The course you’re currently traveling will likely diverge at some point. Your goals may change and the methods you use to reach them will, too.  One of the best ways to stay flexible is by trying new things. Getting outside of your comfort zone helps keep you flexible, so make a list of activities or experiences you haven’t tried and start ticking them off. Switching up your routine also builds flexibility. Instead of driving home from work or school, take the bus or ride your bike. Also, take a completely new route, or do something spontaneous, such as stopping for an ice cream cone or browsing a few shops. . It’s much easier to be determined about your goals when your body is sustained by good fuel, enough sleep, and a good amount of exercise. All these things can help fend off issues like stress and anxiety that make it much harder to maintain determination.  Try to get at least 8 hours of sleep each night, with as many of those hours before midnight as possible. To help your body get into sleep mode more quickly, turn off your electronic devices (like computer, phone, iPad) at least 30 minutes before you go to bed.  Eat lots of veggies and fruits (especially the dark green and colorful ones, which have more nutrients). Avoid eating lots of sugars and salty or processed foods, which can make you feel sluggish or depressed. Go for good carbohydrates like brown rice, oatmeal, and sprouted wheat. Get enough protein by choosing eggs, fish, lean meats, etc.  Exercise for 30 minutes every day. Exercising releases good chemicals like endorphins, which can give you more energy and make you feel happier. Exercise can be anything from putting on a music playlist and having a dance party to going for a long run.
Summary:
Eliminate negative thinking Play to your strengths Build your self-confidence Practice flexibility. Make healthy choices
