SOLUTIONS ARE NOT ALWAYS WET
Solving Equations, Proportion, Variation and Other Word Problems

• Two of the Three Most Important Functions:
  identity, x
• opposite, -x
• Lines:
• vertical lines, x = a, a = some constant
• horizontal lines, y = a, a = some constant
• linear functions, y = ax + b, etc.
• Equations of Lines, y - y₁ =m (x - x₁), etc.
• Solving Linear Equations Graphically, Solve ax + b = cx + d

• RESOURCE PAGE - Solving Equations, Proportion, Variation and Other Word Problems
• See examples of inconsistent systems - Mentally &/or Graphically Solve Systems w/Appropriate Vocabulary & Possible Solutions
• Use Linear Combination (the Addition Method) to Solve Systems of Equations and Inequalities -- Gives instructions and examples.
• Solve Graphically w/Planes &Pencil (Includes Answers)
• Solver (Using Web Page)
• By Linear Combination (Adding Lines)
• By Substitution (Expression Swapping)
• - Algebra Notes
