Location: Retired FCPS, Current UK and Transy		We used this in my algebra I class today and it went fabulously. It is a system with two inequalities. Before we even graphed we used trial and error to find possible combinations of job hours. Then we graphed the inequalities to find the solution. It really engaged my kids.
