Class Notes 2/10

Today in class the students took their systems of inequalities quiz.

No homework due Friday

Class notes 2/8

Today in class we worked more with systems on linear equations in three variables.

There is a quiz Wednesday. solving systems on equations in 2 variables and in 3. plus graphing systems on equations/inequalities in 2 variables.

Class Notes 2/4

Today in class we worked more with solving systems of equations in three variables. We spent the class going over examples, and then the class worked on a handout.

Homework Due 2/8: Front page of the handout that you started

Class Notes 2/2

In class we started a new section where we solved systems of equations in three variables. This section seems tougher than the previous, but once we work on it a little more you'll see that solving a system in three variables in very similar to solving a system of equations in two variables.

For homework Due 2/4: Finish the handout that you started in class
