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.

 9.1 Solving Systems of Linear Equations by Substitution

To solve by substitution:
1) Solve for _____ variable
2) __________ into other equation
3) Isolate your variable

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
