Math 8 - Stone

Yesterday, we finished up our Say it with Symbols unit when we took our unit test. Today we started our final unit in the It's in the System book. In our first lesson, investigation 1.1, we found different values for caps and shirts in an equation to get the target goal of making $600 for a fund raiser. We also looked at comparing the fund raiser equation in two forms: standard form to slope-intercept form:

standard: 5x + 10y = 600

slope-intercept: y = -1/2x + 60

They may not look alike, but these are equivalent, linear equations!


Remember tomorrow is going to be a working day, you will have time to finish the homework, as well as, the homework questions from the book.
