  • How to restore wet leather in my car?

    Sunroof was left open in my car during a thunderstorm back in May. Needless to say the front seats have had a rough recovery. Right now they're extremely hard and lost their shine. Are there any products to restore (or at least attempt to) the leather? Thanks

  • Basic linear equation help?

    So I am tutoring a child in 8th grade math, and a website I went on for examples gave this equation:

    Solve 5x - 4 - 2x + 3 = -7 - 3x + 5 + 2x

    Now the website says the answer is -1/2 but every time I do it I get -1/4.

    Is the website wrong or am I doing something wrong?
