  1. Warm Up Wednesday August 27 For every level Christopher completes in his favorite game, he earns 940 points. Christopher already has 430 points in the game and wants to end up with at least 2410 points before he goes to bed. What is the minimum number of complete levels that Christopher needs to complete to reach his goal?

  2. Answer To solve this, let's set up an expression to show how many points Christopher will have after each level. Number of points =Levels completed × Points per level + Starting points Since Christopher wants to have at least2410 points before going to bed, we can set up an inequality. Number of points ≥2410 Levels completed × Points per level + Starting points ≥2410 We are solving for the number of levels to be completed, so let the number of levels be represented by the variable x . We can now plug in: x⋅940+430≥2410 x⋅940≥2410−430 x⋅940≥1980 x≥1980940≈2.11 Since Christopher won't get points unless he completes the entire level, we round 2.11 up to 3 . Christopher must complete at least 3 levels.

  3. Linear Equations So what do you know about linear equations?

  5. Why is this important? #1 A machine salesperson earns a base salary of $40,000 plus a commission of $300 for every machine he sells. Write an equation that shows the total amount of income the sales person earns, if he sells x machines in a year. #2 At a school play, children’s tickets cost $3 each and adult tickets cost $7 each. The total amount of money earned from ticket sales equals $210. Write a linear model that relates the number of children’s tickets sold to the number of adult tickets sold

  6. Answer#1: The linear model representing the salesperson’s total income is y = $300x+ $40,000 Answer#2 Let x= the number of children’s tickets sold And y= the number of adult tickets sold The amount of money earned from children’s tickets is 3x. The amount of money earned from adult tickets is 7y. The total amount of money earned from ticket sales is 3x+ 7y, which is equal to $210. Answer: 3x+ 7y= 210

  7. Formulas Slope formula Direct variation Slope-intercept form Point-slope form Standard form of an equation

  8. #3 Use the answer to #1 to answer (a) What would be the salesperson’s income if he sold 150 machines? (b) How many machines would the salesperson need to sell to earn a $100,000 income? #4 In the ticket sales problem, how many children’s tickets were sold if 24 adult tickets were sold?

  9. Answer#3 (a)If the salesperson were to sell 150 machines, let x= 150 in the linear model; 300(150) + 40,000= 85,000. Answer: His income would be $85,000. (b) To find the number of machines he needs to sell to earn a $100,000 income, let y= 100,000 and solve forx: y= 300x+ 40,000 Write the linear model. 100,000 = 300x+ 40,000 Substitute y= 100,000. 60,000 = 300x Subtract. x= 200 Divide. Answer: To earn a $100,000 income the salesperson would need to sell 200 machines. Answer#4 If 24 adult tickets were sold,y= 24. Substitute y= 24 into the linear model for #2: 3x+ 7y= 210 Write the linear model. 3x+ 7(24) = 210 Substitute y= 24. 3x+ 168 = 210 Simplify. 3x= 42 Subtract. x= 14 Divide. Answer: 14 children’s tickets were sold

  10. Try some of the worksheet questions Lets check and see if we are all on the same page.

  11. When do we ever use linear equations in real life? • Temperature Conversion http://www.mathscore.com/math/practice/Temperature%20Conversion/ • Exchange Rates http://www.x-rates.com/table/?from=USD&amount=1.00 • Cell Phones • http://www.verizonwireless.com/wcms/consumer/shop/prepaid.html • Travel http://www.budget.com/budgetWeb/html/en/deals/wendie.html?&ICID=homepage_billboard&IID=wendie_august2013 • http://autos.aol.com/cars-Ford-Focus-2013/specs/mpg/

  12. Here is a useful fact: BMR stands for Basal Metabolic Rate. It is the number of calories you burn when you are being completely still. We are going to do a little project to calculate what your personal BMR is and try to figure out if there is a linear relationship or not.

  13. Homework Finish selected problems from the linear equations worksheet AND Complete and answer all the questions for the BMR Project (you don’t have to do scatter plots)
