Hi Jose,
Could the following be added in time to the review:
>>>Can you get the answer to the break-even question by common-sense
reasoning, without paper and pencil?
Would this approach affect "the value of algebraically solving a system of
linear equations" in any way?

Here is an example of my idea towards a stretching assessment. Tomorrow
I'll have them work this out in groups, then I will have them do a similar
problem for homework. This problem probably isn't nothing major in terms of
stretching, but I think it requires using their knowledge of y=mx+b in a
new context for them, plus they can also see the value of algebraically
solving a system of linear equations.
To me this is an interesting review of linear equations.
What do you all think?
Jose
