Week of Oct. 13th

We have now completed 7 weeks of school, that is hard to believe.  This week we will learn about 1-step inequalities and 2-step equations.  Last week we began with 1-step equations with addition and subtraction then multiplication and division.  This week we will put both steps together.

Monday and Tuesday:  1-Step Inequalities
- We will begin by learning how to graph inequalities and then we will solve them.

Wednesday and Thursday:  Solve 2-Step Equations
- We will put our knowledge of 1-step equations with add/subtract and multiply/divide and put them together.

Friday:  Right now the plan is to create equations and inequalities from word problems and solve them.  This plan may change.


Bonus Question of the Week:
A physical therapist earns $87,000 annually. The therapist owes 6.2% of her earned wages for social security tax. She also owes 1.45% of her earned wages for Medicare tax.

What are the physical therapist's total payroll deductions for social security tax and for Medicare tax for the year?

Copy the problem, solve, and turn in by Friday, Oct. 17th for 10 extra bonus points.
