This week I reviewed systems of linear equations to study for the test.

I learned helpful steps to solve word problems.

For example:

READ – carefully – 3 times.

1. Declare variables
2. Write system ( 2 equations)
3. Solve (substitution/elimination)
4. Answer in sentence (does answer make sense?)

or Equal sign –> Verb: is, was, will be

run, walk, drive, climb

Then, I was solving more equations so that I could get better before test day.
