Algebra is the building block that is used in advanced math‚ for instance‚ statistics‚ calculus and may be useful in physics and chemistry. Algebra can be used in our daily life and we are often oblivious to this fact‚ therefore‚ having a basic knowledge of algebra is a must. However‚ algebra is not an easy subject to master and students must practices daily for them to understand the topic. Even though 8th graders learn algebra for about 9 months‚ this is not nearly enough for students to completely

MAT 222 Week 2 Assignment Instructor: Dr. Stacie Williams December 14‚ 2013 In Elementary Algebra we have learned how to solve systems of equations. The solution to a system of linear equations is the point where the graphs of the lines intersect. The solution to a system of linear inequalities is every point in a region of the graph where the inequalities overlap‚ rather than the point of intersection of the lines (Slavin‚ 2001). This week assignment required to solve problem
