Use the strategy for solving word problems, modeling the verbal conditions of the problem with a linear inequality. A local bank charges \(\$ 8\) per month plus 5¢ per check. The credit union charges \(\$ 2\) per month plus 8¢ per check. How many checks should be written each month to make the credit union a better deal?
$$\text { Solve for } t: \quad s=-16 t^{2}+v_{0} t$$
Explain how to add rational expressions having no common factors in their denominators. Use \(\frac{3}{x+5}+\frac{7}{x+2}\) in your explanation.
Perform the indicated operations. $$\left(1-\frac{1}{x}\right)\left(1-\frac{1}{x+1}\right)\left(1-\frac{1}{x+2}\right)\left(1-\frac{1}{x+3}\right)$$
Each group member should research one situation that provides two different pricing options. These can involve areas such as public transportation options (with or without discount passes), cellphone plans, long-distance telephone plans, or anything of interest. Be sure to bring in all the details for each option. At a second group meeting, select the two pricing situations that are most interesting and relevant. Using each situation, write a word problem about selecting the better of the two options. The word problem should be one that can be solved using a linear inequality. The group should turn in the two problems and their solutions.
