NUT Understanding:

"N" = No work other than what was accomplished in class the previous class (might not
recognize if I understood the concepts presented )

"T-" =I did not complete the assignment because I had Trouble with the assignment.

"T+" = I had Trouble with the assigned work but was able to complete it.

"U-" = I Understood the work and did not feel I needed to do all the work.

“U” = I Understood most of the work and completed the entire assignment.

"U+" =I Understood and completed the entire assignment.

 8.1 Systems of Linear Equations and Graphs
8.2 Modelling and Solving Linear Systems
A system of equations means considering two or more equations simultaneously (i.e. on
the same graph)

A solution is a point of intersection

Ex.1 Which sales job is better?

A: $200/week plus 6% commission
B: 10% commission

Ex.2 Jet ski rentals. Who is better?

Coady Chow
3 hours cost $46 2 hours cost $38
5 hours cost $70 6 hours cost $78
Ex.3

Ex.4 A plane flies 1050 km one way and takes 3 hours. The return flight takes 4 hours,
12 minutes. Assuming constant wind speed, how fast can the plane fly? What is the
wind speed?
 8.3 Number of Solutions for Systems of Linear Equations

2 lines in a system of linear equations will fall into the following categories:
Parallel Lines Coincidental Lines Intersecting Lines

Slopes are equal Slopes are equal Slopes are different

No solution Infinite solutions One solution

How many solutions?

There are ___ solutions There is ___ solution

In standard (general) form:

There are ___ solutions There are ___ solutions

 9.1 Solving Systems of Linear Equations by Substitution

To solve by substitution:
1) Solve for one variable
2) Substitute

Ex.1

Ex.2 Two numbers add to 16. Twice the first number minus three times the second
number equals -13. What are the numbers?
 9.2 Solving Systems of Linear Equations by Elimination

Some essential properties

1) multiplying both sides of a linear equation by a constant does not change its
equality
e.g.

2) adding/subtracting both sides of a linear equation by the same value does not
change its equality
e.g.

To solve using elimination:

1) make the coefficients in front of one of the variables the same through
multiplication (e.g. make both equations have a )
2) add or subtract the equations to eliminate the variable with matching
coefficients

Ex. Solve the following using elimination
