- Determine the perimeter, area, and volume of basic geometric shapes.
- Employ graphs in solving linear equations.
- Solve line problems: the slope of a line, equation of a line and the distance between two points.
- Solve problems involving ratios, proportions and variations.
- Solve the system of two linear equations alegebraically, graphically and with determinants.
- Simplify algebraic expressions by performing algebraic operations and factoring.
