Part A is to be done with the elimination method and part B should be done with the substitution method.

Part A: Instructions:

• In the announcement area there should be a listing with your name and number assigned forthe discussion questions. If you do not see this list, email your instructor to get your assigned number.
• Please use #40 until you receive your own number.
• Access your textbook this way: Go to Content. Click on the week you’re working on. Scroll down to Week # Homework or Week # Quiz. A new page will open. You are now in the ALEKS system. Select the menu in the upper-left corner (it looks like three dashes). Select Textbook and then E-Book. You can also access the E-book when you are in Learning Mode (i.e. when you are working through your topics in the ALEKS Homework) by clicking on the E-Book icon to the right of any problem.
• Please provide the question, your answer, and all of the steps and processes you used to solve your problem. Be sure that your work is your own.
• You may post revisions based on your instructor’s feedback by the end of each week.
• Do not solve another student’s problems. Each student must be graded on his/her own work.

PART B INSTRUCTIONS:

After you post, you will see the posts of your classmates.
