Problem: Article: Fill an open shoe box with vertical toilet paper tubes or cut-down paper towel tubes. Put specific pens or pencils in each of the tubes to hold them upright in an easy-to-reach place on your desk. If you're an artist, this is a great way to store and dry paint brushes! Wrap the lid of a shoe box with burlap or another material that matches the look of your bedroom. Hang the lid on the wall with nails near a dresser or jewelry case. Stick clear push pins through the fabric and lid to make hangers for necklaces or bracelets. To give your shoe box a classier look, wrap the exterior of the box with twine or jute rope. Attach the rope with hot glue or tacky glue. Once the rope has dried and set, line the inside of the box with white canvas for a simple and elegant look. Keep the box in a dry area. Humidity may cause the cardboard in the box to grow mold. If you need to sort mail, greeting cards, or any other small paper goods, keep your shoeboxes for filing. Create dividers using cut pieces of posterboard to keep your different items organized. Use filing tabs to label each section. If you have extra space in the box, keep a jar of pens and pencils so you have everything you need in one small package! If you want to keep your craft supplies more organized, cut slots on the short sides of the box so that a thin wooden dowel can fit snugly. Put the dowel through the center holes on ribbon spools and push it into the slots. When you're finished, put the lid back on so the ends of the ribbon are held tight and they're easy for you to pull out. Glue buttons on the end of the dowel so it does not slip out of the slots you've cut. Keep a pair of scissors in the box so you have everything you need in one tiny package!
Summary: Organize pens and markers with a shoebox and cardboard tubes. Hang jewelry from the lid with push pins. Craft a storage basket with twine and canvas. Use the box as a small filing cabinet. Store spools of ribbon in the box.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Don't remove all the fat from the roast, but if it has a thick or tough layer on one side, use a sharp knife to loosen it, then pull it off and discard. Place the roast in the pan and cook until it is brown on all sides. Don't move the roast around in the pan until it is browned and ready to turn. Moving the meat will prevent it from browning thoroughly. Do not overcook; remove the meat as soon as it is brown on all sides. The point is not to cook it through, but to bring out the flavors in preparation for roasting. You may use the same dutch oven you used to brown the roast, or a clean roasting pan. Season liberally with salt and pepper. Remove the lid or foil from the pan and insert a meat thermometer into the roast. Rare meat is done when its temperature has reached 125 degrees Fahrenheit(52 degrees Celsius). Medium rare meat is done at 130 degrees Fahrenheit (54 degrees Celsius). Medium well meat is done at 140 degrees Fahrenheit (60 degrees Celsius). Well done meat is done at 160 degrees Fahrenheit (71 degrees Celsius). Carve the meat with a sharp knife and serve sliced. If you'd like to make gravy, pour the drippings into a saucepan over medium heat. Add a few tablespoons of flour and stir until thickened.

SUMMARY: Trim the roast of extra fat. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit (162 degrees Celsius). Heat oil in a large dutch oven or frying pan. Place the roast in a dutch oven or roasting pan. Pour the wine and broth over the meat. Test the roast to make sure it's done. Remove the roast from the oven and allow it to rest uncovered for thirty minutes.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Solving an equation in algebra usually means finding out what the variable is. Algebra equations are usually set up with numbers and/or variables on both sides, like this: x + 2 = 9 4. To figure out what the variable is, you need to get it by itself on one side of the equals sign. Whatever is left on the other side of the equals sign is your answer. In the example (x + 2 = 9 4), to get x by itself on the left side of the equation, we need to get rid of the "+ 2". To do this, we'll simply subtract 2 from that side, leaving us with x = 9 4. However, to keep both sides of the equation equal, we also need to subtract 2 from the other side. This leaves us with x = 9 4 - 2. Following the order of operations, we multiply first, then subtract, giving us an answer of x = 36 - 2 = 34. As we just saw above, getting x by itself on one side of the equals sign usually means getting rid of the numbers next to it. To do this, we perform the "opposite" operation on both sides of the equation. For instance, in the equation x + 3 = 0, since we see a "+ 3" next to our x, we'll put a "- 3" on both sides. The "+ 3" and "- 3", leaving x by itself and "-3" on the other side of the equals sign, like this: x = -3. In general, addition and subtraction are like "opposites" do one to get rid of the other. See below: For addition, subtract. Example: x + 9 = 3 x = 3 - 9 For subtraction, add. Example: x - 4 = 20 x = 20 + 4 Multiplication and division are a little harder to work with than addition and subtraction, but they have the same "opposite" relationship. If you see a " 3" on one side, you'll cancel it by dividing both sides by 3, and so on. With multiplication and division, you must perform the opposite operation on everything on the other side of the equals sign, even if it's more than one number. See below: For multiplication, divide. Example: 6x = 14 + 2 x = (14 + 2)/6 For division, multiply. Example: x/5 = 25 x = 25 5 Exponents are a fairly advanced pre-algebra topic if you don't know how to do them, see our basic exponent article for more information. The "opposite" of an exponent is the root that has the same number as it. For example, the opposite of the 2 exponent is a square root (), the opposite of the 3 exponent is the cube root (3), and so on. It may be a little confusing, but, in these cases, you take the root of both sides when dealing with an exponent. On the other hand, you take the exponent of both sides when you're dealing with a root. See below: For exponents, take the root. Example: x2 = 49 x = 49 For roots, take the exponent. Example: x = 12 x = 122
Summary:
Try to get the variable by itself in algebra equations. Cancel addition with subtraction (and vice versa). Cancel multiplication with division (and vice versa). Cancel exponents by taking the root (and vice versa).
