September 22nd..

We learnt how to do word problems solving linear equations.
Its a bit hard but not too bad.

Adding/Subtracting - September 21.

Well after not getting this for the longest time I finally understand it.
We learnt about adding and subtracting method instead of solving by substitution.

todays math class is weird.
the questions look very easy, so it makes them even harder!!

STEPS to solve by substitution (september 17)

Okay well todays assignment is to tell the steps on how to solve by substitution.

So i'll use an example to start of..
L1=2x+4y=8
L2=3x+y=13

(2x=4y=8)

step 1: then you take 4y and subtract it over to the other side
2x=8-4y

step 2: then you divide by 2 to get X by itself
x=(8-4y)/2

step:3 then you substitute it in to "L2"
3[(8-4y)/2]+y=13

step 4: then you multiply everything by 2.
6+16-8y+2y=26

step 5: collect the like terms now.
22-6y=26-22
-6y=4

step 6: to get y by its self, divide everything by -6
therefore, y= 4/-6 OR 2/-3

Now, you plot it in into one of the first solutions about
3(2/-3)+y=13
-2+y=13
y=13+2
y=15

THEREFORE: your plot would be [(2/-3),(15)]

Harder class.

Well, its still the same stuff as yesterday. I'm still not understanding how to find the X intercept... But i'll figure it out :)

Reflections Monday September 14th

Today was another easy class. Basically just a review from grade 10.
It was just a review of solving by substitution
We also did a mental math, which wasn't too hard.
:)

First Math Class Lesson

Basically a review from last year Y=MX+B, system of linear equations.. Just stuff like that. Easy Peasy :)

Goals

Some of the goals i have set are:
1) To achieve all of my credits
2) To pass all classes with an average of 65% or above
3) To save up enough money for a new car
