Abstracts numbers from Talk and Text Plan A: represents the problem algebraically, solves the problem, and correctly notes the meaning of the results in context of the problem.
Uses an algebraic method to solve for the minutes shared (preferably substitution but can convert to Standard Form and use elimination). Graphs both equations using slope-intercept form to determine the cost for both plans when using 300 minutes. Identifies solution to be where the lines intersect and expresses it as an ordered pair
A graph paper is used for part c to determine the cost of both talk and text plans for 300 minutes. The graph is used to estimate an answer for part d.
Correctly uses the distributive property, combines like terms, and applies inverseoperations to solve for minutes. Correctly sets up graph. Accurately labels work and uses correct math terminology.
