More Word Problems

Today we worked together on some word problems I had you copy down yesterday. Some of these turned out to be a little on the difficult side, but we did manage to find a pattern to solving them.

• Read the problem
• Construct two equations (one sentence is usually one equation)
• Substitute on equation into the other one
• Solve

After struggling along with yesterday's 'extra problems' we discovered that the homework from section 3.1 looked a little easier. Tonight I'd like you to finish more of #15-33 from the assignment on section 3.1 and tomorrow we'll find some more problems to practice together. Good luck.
