Applications of Systems of Linear Equations

Another homework quiz today took up much of our class. But as we marked it together and discussed part marks I felt as though we are understanding the process of solving linear equations just based on how easily we were able to discuss each of the steps. We'll be having a few more of those in the days to come as well.



One of the questions on our quiz today was a word prolem requiring you to determine the linear equations yourselves. Today's lesson (#6) consists entirely of these problems. What's important to remember here is the difference between being able to solve a system of linear equations and being able to determine the equations described in the problem. Be sure to take a look at the assignment tonight so that we can see how you're doing with the new skill.

The link above (when you click the title) will take you to a solver program that will let you enter your equations and find a solution immediately. I might try this site for making up some new questions! Good luck.
