This is really minor, but:
The OPOD name is in the item code for the game system. For consistency it should be KILLX-112.

Exercise Solution - towards the bottom of the page |
The text states "Isolate the variable by dividing both sides by 150" but it shows, correctly I might add, that both sides are divided by 230. So, the term actually reads 15/230 = P, not 15/150.
Note from the Author or Editor:
change the annotation at the bottom of the page to "Isolate the variable by dividing by 230" |

Middle of graph. |
While graphing the line corresponding to $245, the rise is above the graph line for $250 instead of beneath it.

the Graph |
c + 0.4p = 2.6
(0,2.6) (6.5,0)
Then (4,1) is better in focus
Grtzzz Dimitri
Note from the Author or Editor:
Perhaps shift c + 0.4p = 2.6 down slightly so the intersection is more perfectly over (4,1). |

Mystery description |
On p. 273 where it says "Kathleen said that she bought twice as many dresses as shoes and got 6 things all together" it will be changed to say something like "there are a total of 6 bags, with 2 bags per dress and 1 bag per pair of shoes." That means that we'll keep the 2d + s =6 and then we still have parallel lines.

Bottom right example |
A minus sign has been lost in the working, with the error propagated to the following lines.
8x + 24x -16x = 2400 becomes 8x(1 + 3 + 2) = 2400
It should be 8x(1 + 3 - 2) = 2400.
Note from the Author or Editor:
change 8x(1 + 3 + 2) = 2400 to 8x(1 + 3 - 2) = 2400
change 8x(6) to 8x(2)
change 48x/48 to 16x/16
change 2400/48 to 2400/16
change x = 50 to x = 150 |

The crossword on p. 418 and 420 are the same one, but the format is different. The answers were generated from a different grid than the question. They need to match! The .cwz files should have been uploaded, but Tracey can change them if needed. |
