Video Problems

I am continuing to try and find a resolution to the video problems I am encountering. The videos themselves are okay, but they become corrupted when uploaded to the website.

I will continue to work to resolve this issue.

ps. I am now getting the video to upload with the correct run time, but now the audio isn't syncing with the video.

Gateway Algebra (2/9/2010) Find Solutions to systems of two linear equations in two variables



Gateway Algebra: 0806.3.1 Solving systems of linear equations


Solve systems of equations graphically.

Steps:

  1. Solve each equation for "Y" if they are not already in Slope/Intercept Form
  2. Enter each equation into TI Nspire calculator.
  3. Window-Zoom and drag until intersection of both lines is visible.
  4. Use Trace Graph to locate coordinate of the point of intersection. Where the lines cross is the solution to the system.
