R-2
Which one works and why? \
Student A:
2x+4+6x-5+7x+3=17x
-No add-ons or coins
-Just add numbers then x at the end
Student B:
2x+4+6x-5+7x+3=15x+2
-Added together. 2x+6x=7x=15x
**If x= 1, then both would be right.
Questions:
If problems are the same, why 2 answers?
Where is the +2 from?
Rule:
Never assume x=
Don't mix apples and oranges (strips and the chips, bags and the coins, x and add-ons)
Always show the add-on Don't mix the constant or an add-on

Generalyzing linear equations and Quiz
x (indep. variable) * constant + sometimes an add on= y (depend. variable)
y=mx+b
m=constant
b=add on
y=dependent variable
x=independent variable
When you see two letters or a number and a letter next to each other, it means they are multiplied.
Representations:
1. Graph
2. Table
3. Equation
Can you show where the...
1. constant of probortinality
2. add-on
...is in a graph, table, and equation
Can you create some representations related to a word problem

TMWYK: About the intersecting y-axis
-related to the add on
-indep. variable (x) goes from + to -
-if it hits the y-axis at 0 - no add on
-where the first point is
** Add on is the y-intercept. It starts someplace other than zero on the y-axis.

The add on in a linear equation and t-shirt problem
TMWYK:
-Extra part
-Add or subtract
-Happens w/ head start/up front price
-When linear graphs don't start at the same place
***Where it hits or intersects the y-axis (ex. 45 in headstart) it starts at 0. Add on is 0.
Walkathon T-shirt problem
Given these equations, what do you think the C and n could stand for? Could you make up a problem?
Mighty T
C= 49 + n
C=cost
n=# of students
49 to create a design (add on)
No-Shrink T
C=4.5n
C=cost
n=number of students
No add on, hits 0 axis
R/L 63
Here is the dilemma. I have $120. Which place should I go to buy the maximum amount of t-shirts.

Patterns
TMWYK: How can you make rules from patterns
-observations
-predict
-see what it goes up by
-more/different rules
-Must work for everything
-Identify what each part of the equation does
-compare all scenarios
Pattern Rules-
1. (n*3)+1 n=figure #
2. Dark is negative, Grey is positive
(n*3)-1 n=figure #
(the minus 1 is from the middle square)
3. Dark is negative, grey is positive
(n*2)-((n*2)+4) n=figure
**Class discovered that every figure is equal to -4.
Different Equation: 0-4 (The n*2-n*2 cancels out or zeroates)
4.0=-1 0=odd
E=0 E=even

Core Math Goal: How can you use the same proportions to find percentages of a value when you know a certain percentage of the same value?
TMWYK: About using proportions to solve problems
$22,500
Markup 10%
Original price=??
Strategy:
Delany's Idea
10+100=110 (full price + mark up price)
10 2050
110 = 22550 (price of the car)
***Flynn's Idea: Maybe they need to be equivalent fractions. We can check it with that. Scale factor is 205. This means that they are equal fractions and are in proportion.
Proportional Strategy
*We should divide by 11. 10 is the mark up price
110
10 = 11
10% of 110=11
New Problem:
22,770=resale price
Original proce=19,800

What is the relationship between two similar figures? (Reptiles)
Scale Factor- Number I multiply side length or perimeter by to get similar figure
Side Length- in proportion smaller side length x scale factor= bigger side length
Perimeter- small perimeter x scale factor= bigger perimeter
Area- bigger shape side lengths are a multiple of smaller shape side lengths
If my original area is 3 and my scale factor is 2 (twice as big), how can I figure out what that new area is?
If my original area is 6 and I have a scale factor of 3(3 times as big), how can I figure
Rule: original area x (scale factor)^2 = bigger area
(scale factor)^2= scale factor x scale factor
Scale Factor- Number I multiply side length or perimeter by to get similar figure
Side Length- in proportion smaller side length x scale factor= bigger side length
Perimeter- small perimeter x scale factor= bigger perimeter
Area- bigger shape side lengths are a multiple of smaller shape side lengths

If my original area is 6 and I have a scale factor of 3(3 times as big), how can I figure

Mug Wumps and HW
Observations:
-Glug (x,3y) and Lug(3x,y) have the same area size
-Glug is as tall as bug
-Lug and Bug have the same width (x's are the same)
-Mug, Zug, and Bug are related because they are similar. Even x's and even y's.
-Lug and glug are imposters
-Lug is as tall as Mug (Their y's are the same)
-If x and y are multiplied by different numbers they will be imposters.
How to make an Imposter:
**-Multiplied y more than x so it is taller.
**-Multiply x more than y so that it is wider.
How to make a Wump Family:
**-Multiply x and y by the same number
HOMEWORK!
L15 pg. 41 # 14 and #15
What are some predictions we can make for a rule to move the Mug Wumps around on the graph?
-subtract same # from x,y
-change y and x by the same #
-Multiply x and y by the same number.
-Move to the side, change the x's.
-change coordinates
-If you want to move it up maybe adding
-to move sideways, you add to the x axis. to move up, you add to the y.

How would you model
12 ÷4=3
Is it possible for the quotient for be anywhere else? No, it's a fact family so it can switch around.
