Here is the two-part question... This counts as ONE homework grade and ONE quiz grade!

a. Solve for x and y in the following picture.  List the steps to solve the problem for both x and y. In other words, write your equations and solve!  (Source:  pg. 268 from our Geometry textbook)



b.  Suppose that the Ninth Grade Center offered distance learning for core courses (Math, Science, Social Studies, and English).  Distance learning, for those who don’t know, would be a way to have a complete class on the web.  It would be like I would teach all of the lessons from the web, you ask questions through the web, you submit homework on the web, and you would take quizzes and tests on the internet.  Would this be something you would be interested in?  Explain why or why not in at least three COMPLETE sentences.

Good luck!
