Welcome back to a normal week!! :) Last week was very eventful. This week will be more routine. Today we continued our reivew of systems of equations. We solved problems using the elimination method and we introduced to problems that required us to change the coefficients in both equation. Students took notes and were given several examples to try.

HOMEWORK: Complete the "Choose a Method" worksheet. Complete the top two rows only (we'll do the bottom row tomorrow in class. I would recommend using the elimination method to solve each of these problems.

TEST: Friday over systems of equations and inequalties
