Week+Two+Assignments

Solving Equations: Addition and Subtraction Properties. Equivalent equations are equations that have the same solution(s) for the same replacement set. The equations //x + 2 = 10 and x = 8// are equivalent; in each case, the solution is 8. x - 1.4 = 9.2 x - 1.4 + 1.4 = 9.2 + 1.4 x + 0 = 10.6 check. x - 1.4 = 9.2 10.6 - 1.4 = 9.2 9.2 = 9.2 The solution is 10.6.
 * Week Two Assignment**
 * //Example//** Solve and check: x - 1.4 = 9.2


 * //Objective://**The students will solve equations using the addition and subtraction properties for equations. The students will tell what operation you would perform on each side of the equation to get **//x//** alone on one side. The student will solve and check each problem listed below.

1. x + 4 = -6 6. x - (-15) = 17 2. x - 2 = 10 7. 12 + x = -15 3. 9 = x - 11 8. 33 = -14 + x 4. x - 7 = 24 9. x + 9 = 7 5. 24 = x + 24 10. 21 = x + 15 **Group Assignment:** Many students do not see the point of learning algebra, but there are many professions that require the use or understanding of linear equations. Each group will be assign to the task of finding an adult in their lives who has a job that requires her to use or understand algebra, graphs or linear equations. Each participant in their assigned group must interview an adult and find out three specific ways she uses algebra in her job. The students can write a short report and share it with each member in their assigned group. This assignment should help to convince a few more students that algebra is worth learning. Each group will combined their information and create a multimedia project to present their findings.

**SUBMISSION INSTRUCTION:** Save the assignment as **AssignmentTwo+last name+first initial**. For example, Sally Ride’s assignment filename would be "AssignDescriptionRideS." For group assignment two submit it as **GroupAssignmentTwo.**
