Problem: Article: This is pretty easy to do, especially if you are dealing with linear equations. All you have to do is solve your equation for y. If it is a linear systems in standard form (Ax+By=C), then you can just write down the following equation, subbing in for the constants A, B, and C: y=(c-ax)/b or you can use the second method. If your equations are in slope intercept form, you already have the equation in y= form. Press the y= button, usually the top left button on your calculator, and type in your first equation under y1 and your second equation under y2. Since you can only use 2 variables with this method, you shouldn't need more than 2 equations. If instead of y=, you have something else, make sure you are in function mode by pressing the mode button and making sure "Func" is highlighted. On the TI83, plots that are turned on are highlighted in the y= menu. If there are any on, simply move your cursor over them and press enter. You should also scroll down on the y= screen to make sure there are no other equations set to graph. If there are you have two options: If you might need the equation later, move your cursor to the "=" sign and press enter to unselect it. Only the entries with their "=" signs highlighted will graph, but your equation will still be entered if you need it. To make the equation graph again, move your cursor onto the "=" sign again and press enter to highlight it. If you won't need the equation later, move your cursor to the entry (not the "=" sign) and press clear. You can't retrieve the equation if you do this, so be sure you want to clear it before you do this. Guess at what your answer might be. You want to be your answer is on the screen. Press the "window" button, usually the button just to the right of the y= button. The xmin should be considerably less than your guess and the xmax should be considerably higher. Then, instead of worrying about your y=, just press the "zoom" button just to the right of the "window" button then scroll down to "ZoomFit" and press enter. In a few seconds your graph should appear on the screen. If you can't see the intersection of the graphs, adjust the window until you can. Press "2nd" then "Trace" to bring you to the "Calculate" menu. Scroll down to intersect and press enter. It should prompt "First curve?" Make sure your cursor is on one of the graphs and press enter. It should then prompt "Second curve?" Make sure your cursor is on the other graph and press enter. It will prompt "Guess?" The easiest way to do this for equations that only intersect once is to press enter again. If they intersect twice on the same page, either enter a value that is close to the x value where they intersect (You could use your estimated value for x in step 4) or move your cursor near where they intersect. Remember: it doesn't have to be perfect; your calculator is just trying to make sure it finds the right intersection point for you. It doesn't really need an accurate guess. To navigate on the graph screen: Press the up and down buttons to switch between graphs. This will not change your x value. Press the left and right buttons to move along the graph. Your x value change will be incremental, your y change will be the output of the x value, so your cursor may move faster some times and slower others. On the bottom of your screen, your calculator should say "x=a number" and "y=a number." These are your answers. Copy them down to the desired accuracy.
Summary: Convert the equations into y= form In order to graph an equation on your calculator, the left side of the equation must only contain y. Plug the equations into your calculator. Make sure all plots are turned off and other equations cleared. Choose an appropriate window. Find the intersection of the graphs. Write down your solution.

Problem: Article: After undergoing a surgical abortion, make sure to follow your doctor's guidelines for recovery. You may bleed or feel cramping in your uterus for up to a week after the procedure. Your doctor might provide pain medication to help you deal with the physical effects. You will also be prescribed antibiotics to help prevent infections. If you bleed excessively or the cramps become extremely painful, contact your doctor. You should also call the doctor if you begin to run a fever in the days following the abortion or have a vaginal discharge that is very thick or has a strong odor. It is normal to feel a range of emotions after your abortion. Some people mostly feel relieved. Others have more complicated emotions. For example, you might feel sadness, grief, or confusion. Whatever your emotions may be, give yourself time and space to feel them. Abortion is a very personal experience. Don't be ashamed if you are very emotional afterwards. Instead, acknowledge and accept the way you are feeling. While it is normal to be emotional after an abortion, you do want to make sure you are on the road to emotional recovery. As a teenager, this is especially important, as you are already experiencing a lot of changes in your life. If you feel prolonged feelings of depression, guilt, or anger, it might be time to seek help. Sometimes you might feel better if you talk to a trusted friend or family member. Other times, your problem might be more severe. In that case, ask your doctor if she can refer you to a counselor or a support group. Remember, you are not alone.
Summary: Understand the physical recovery process. Acknowledge your emotions. Ask for help.

Problem: Article: Ladies, remember, their clothing covered their WHOLE body. Even the glimpse of an ankle is a stereotype "no-no." Instead of coats, women wore shawls or cloaks when cold. This one is very emphasized. As young as 4 years old girls must cover their knee and sixteen year old girls must cover their ankles. If you are in that age range, you have free to customize your skirts within that range. One exception to full body coverings. Ball gowns or formal attire. You may show your shoulders and/or breast line. Corsets can have the power to crush your internal organs and lower sets of ribs, so as far a recommending them, most would not. Bustles were designed to hold the skirt up and a very modernized and simple way to make one is to tie a pillow with a belt under your skirt. Especially with lace, these gloves are a great way to show you love Victorian times. It really doesn't matter if its white or black, but black is the most Victorian-looking. Brooches are very Victorian. While people from Victorian time mostly wore ones containing plain silver or pearls, emerald is accepted, too. Hats make the look. If you find a very nice looking antique hat, buy it. You can wear it! It makes the look.
Summary: Know the basics. Wear cloaks, not coats! Know the length of skirts. Know the exceptions. Consider bustles and corsets. Wear gloves. Wear brooches. Add a stylish hat. Stay away from bright colors. Focus on pastels and dark colors.

Problem: Article: Make it big, but not very thick. Rub that on your smudged finger. Start at the inside corners of your eyes and work the mark down and out slightly. Start from the outside edge down toward the first mark if you want a more extreme effect, or for darker lighting.
Summary:
Get a black marker; preferably washable. Draw a rather large smudge on one of your fingers. Take another finger on the opposite hand. Apply the marker to below your eyes carefully. Add a much lighter bit.
