4. W HEN DO WE USE THIS IN REAL LIFE ? Actually you use algebra all the time. The is no reason why you should get into long complicated answers for this question. Here are some straight up easy answers. 1) When filling your car up with gas you can use a form of algebra. Lets say you only have $20.00 to spend on gas today and gas is $3.50 a gallon. How many gallons could you buy? Let x = # of gallons of gas 3.50x=20.00 x=5.71 gallons

5. A LGEBRA IN THE REAL WORLD 2) Lets say you need to buy a NEW XBox 360. You have $800 to spend on everything. You know a new system costs $400 and extra controller $40. Assuming a game costs $60 how many games could you get? Let x= the number of Games $800 = $400 + $40 +$60x 800=460+60x 360=60x x = 6 Games

7. T RY TO CREATE A REAL LIFE EXAMPLE Lets see….you want to order pizza. There is a deal on at Pizza Hut. $10.99 for one 15” and 5 bucks for each additional pizza. What is your total cost ? Well let n represent the number of pizzas you will order. 10.99 + 5n This becomes the algebraic expression.
