2. Use the above 3 variable to write down the system of 3 linear equations based on the question.
s+t+z= 114
8t+8z=496
1s+1z=75
3. Solve the system to find out how many of each animal does the Rescue board. Be sure to write
down your steps clearly.
1. s+t+z=114(-8) =-s-t-z=-912
2. 8t+8z=496
8t+8z=496
-8s=-416 = s=52
52+39+z=114
-52-32 +z =23
Z=23
52+39+23=114
1. s+t+z=114(-)
= -s-t-z=-114
3. 1s+1z=75
s + z =75
= -t=39 = t=39
4. Write down in a complete sentence how many of each animal the Rescue board.
The Rescue board 52 snakes,39 tarantulas, and 23 scorpions.
2. Dr. Edward Frenkel in the preface of his book Love & Math wrote, Mathematics equal rigor plus
intellectual integrity times reliance on facts. We should all have access to the mathematical
knowledge and tools needed to protect us from arbitrary decision made by the powerful few in
an increasingly math-driven world. Where there is no mathematics, there is no freedom. Do
you agree or disagree with Dr. Frenkel that Where there is no mathematics, there is no
freedom? Why? Write between150 and 300 words to respond to these questions.
I agree with the statement where there is no mathematics, there is no freedom. Math is needed
in everyday life. When my kids earn money they count it and recount it and put 10% in savings
and then they go to the store and buy treats or something they have saved for. If they do not
have enough they need to know how much more they need and how much tax is going to be so
they can include that when saving. You need math to be able to balance a check book, buy a
car, grocery shop, use coupons and know how to figure what the interest is on loan. If a person
does not learn math they are powerless and would have to rely on others often times not
getting the best deal for what they are in need of. There is no freedom without the basic
principles and knowledge of math.
