Task
Your task is to identify careers that use Algebra (and in particular, linear equations) and solve a word problem related to those careers using linear equations.
After successfully completing this assignment, you will have addressed the following Common Core GPS standard for 9th grade:
MCC9-12.A.REI.3 Solve linear equations and inequalities in one variable, including equations with coefficients represented by letters. (Extend earlier work with solving linear equations to solving linear inequalities in one variable and to solving literal equations that are linear in the variable being solved for. Include simple exponential equations that rely only on application of the laws of exponents, such as 5x = 125 or 2x = 1/16.)
