College Algebra - Linear Equations
Let me start with some basics, and if this is too basic, just let me know.
So - the philosohy of linear equations. What is their raison d'etre, and why are you being made to learn them?
Think about it like this.
There is some relationship that exists in nature (or in life, if you prefer) between things you know (or can control), and things you'd like to know that depend on those 'controllable' things.
You want to get a hold of that 'relationship' and make it work for you - so you can describe and predict stuff 'in life' that follows that relationship.
That's what math can do for us!!
All that notation - the x's the y's, the operators - and all that graphing, is supposed to make it easier! And it does. But only if you speak the language and understand how to translate:
What you want to know to help you in life
to
Mathematical symbology
I am going to try to make this clear with an example and maybe we can work through some questions you have, or problems you're working on.
Example to follow in a few...sound good?
