Algebra 3/24 - 3/28

Algebra students,

This week marks the last week in quarter 3.  We have a quiz on Thursday and Friday.  If you know you will be absent, please talk to me in class.  You will need to make up the quiz after spring break.

Using Substitution to solve a linear system


Algebra Scholars, welcome back! Now that you all have become experts at graphing linear systems, it is time to learn how substitution is a really good friend! When graphing isn't the most convienent or doesn't provide you with an exact solution to your linear system, substitution can solve you problems...with your help of course. Check out the example.

What is the solution to a system with Parallel Lines?


Well Algebra Scholars, I am experimenting with posting some classwork completed by students during class while presenting to the entire class.

Solving linear systems can be confusing...especially if you end up with parallel lines. Looking for a point of intersection between two parallel lines can be difficult. :-) No worries, because they don't intersect, there are no solutions! Take a look on the image!

Good Luck with Linear Systems!
