I'm delighted to announce that I had three of you arguing yesterday about an algebraic solution. Nothing warms my heart as students arguing, respectfully of course, over math. Glad you're feeling adamant about your hard work!
As we move further into linear equations we will continue to use our tools:
- equations like y-mx+b
- function tables (those x/y charts) and
- graphing
to helps us solve word problems. Although it may seem cumbersome now to use all these tools, they payoff will be worth it when you can understand the concepts behind the procedures to better remember your process & computations. It's also a great way to catch mistakes as I have frequently modeled for you:)
Please start by reviewing:
and then move on to pg 378, EXAMPLE 3, shown below in the video lessons:
