Solving Equations
Honors Geometry – This packet is due on the first day of
class.
There will be a quiz on the first day of class on this material. If you have any
questions as you work on this packet, please email the Geometry Honors lead
teacher,(I may not answer right away in July). This packet is worth 30 points
