Homework help: a protocol, not a panic.

When a problem stalls, students should not sit frozen. Reread the worked example. Copy the first two steps with reasons. Change the numbers to friendlier ones. Check units. Circle the sentence in the word problem that tells the question.

If still stuck, write one specific question for the teacher: “I can isolate x when the coefficient is an integer, but I freeze when it is a fraction.” That question is more useful than “I don’t get it.” Families can sit nearby and ask the student to teach the example back, which is retrieval practice.
