HOMEWORK
 1.  Copy and complete the following sBEDMAS problems:
a) (-10) x (-1) + (+6) x (-4) = +10 + -24 = -14
b) (-6) + (-2) x (-7) - (-3)
        (-6) + (+14)  - (-3)
                 (+8) - (-3)
                        +11



2.  Draw a T-table for the following pattern.  Write an expression that describes the pattern
(ex: n+5    or    4 x n + 3)
a) Caleb's
