Today we are solving equations using the same steps and procedures as before, but are dealing with equations that contain decimals.

We reviewed the steps to solve equations with a worksheet to begin class, then did some examples of solving decimal equations on the board. Students practiced on a worksheet and then worked on the graded assignment.

Homework:
p. 169 20 - 38 even

We began class with a review of solving systems of equations. View the worksheet here.

Our next lesson focuses on solving systems of inequalities, whose solutions are expressed as graphs, shown at the left. The solution to a system of inequalities is the area shaded twice in the graph. After viewing some examples on the board, students worked on the graded assignment out of the book.

Homework:
p. 159-160 #'s 12-14, 27-32, 34, 36, 40, 49
