Systems of Equations and Related Matters

Home Nugget #12

Due on Wednesday May 28, 2008

Using "Vincent's Problem" from class, solve the system of equations using the four methods we have been working on:
1. Equality
2. Graphing
3. Substitution
4. Combination

(Vincent's problem is as follows: he is an artist who sells oil paintings for $500 apiece and charcoal sketches for $300 apiece. He wants to sell a total of 56 items and earn a total of
$20, 000. How many of each item must he sell to satisfy these two requirements?)

Then, in SOA
Page 61 #34 - 37 and 44 - 46
Page 62 #48 - 50

Continue to provide representative explanations for repetitive problem sets

FCAs
2 points: all problems genuinely attempted in their entirety
2 points: abundant evidence that quality time and effort were spent thinking about, responding to and presenting solutions
