It's late, so I'll accept this until Thursday, but here is this week's extra credit:
We've been studying scenarios that can be modeled using two linear equations recently. Your objective, should you choose to accept it, is to create your own scenario that can be represented, and hopefully solved, using a system of linear equations.
We've looked at systems where two items are decreasing (reef tanks), two items are increasing (savings accounts), one item is increasing and one is decreasing (income vs cost), and even scenarios where we're tracking the combination to two variables (adults and children, attendance vs admission).
Complete each of the tasks below and post all your content to the comments section on this post. Be creative! Impress us!
- Define your problem scenario. What's happening? What do we need to determine?
- Write two or more equations to represent the scenario. Define your variables.
- Solve the system via substitution.
- Explain what the solution means in terms of the problem scenario.
- Post your scenario here in the comments of this post. Feel free to include both text and/or photos of written work or graphs you may have created to show your solution.
