Hi Nyna,

Upon Claudia's suggestion I did a search on the web and found the following 
lessons from that book online:

LARSON ALGEBRA 2 CHAPTER 1, LESSON 6
http://www.classzone.com/larson2000/algebra2_demo/common/chapter1/pdfs/2_01_6
.pdf

LARSON ALGEBRA 2 CHAPTER 1, LESSON 7
http://www.classzone.com/larson2000/algebra2_demo/common/chapter1/pdfs/2_01_7
.pdf

I doubt that any of these lessons are what you're looking for but here they 
are anyway. For future, I suggest, you ask the Algebra II teacher for an 
extra copy of the textbook (to borrow) for your use.  This way you don't have 
to rely on the student.
