Tressie is Back At It Again!

After travelling to the LAND OF ADVANCED, Tressie finds a note from her third cousin about the wonderful goodies found at the HILLTOP of PROGRESSION. She writes about how at the HILLTOP of PROGRESSION, she finally knew she understood Algebra II. So again to make the trip successful, Tressie has her map, her satchel, and a few additional tools. Traveling with Tressie is Pouches the Kangaroo, Tressie's trusted friend. Tressie needs to travel to the HILLTOP of PROGRESSION because she is ready to show that she has mastered all that Algebra II has to offer.

Tressie walks to the gate of the castle at the HILLTOP to a guard. The guard states with conviction, "Many have tried to conquer the hilltop, fail as they may and they will be put out with a plop. Enter these gates and prove your worth, and maybe one day we can meet up for a surf."

TASK ONE

Tressie enters the gates and strolls to the entrance. She is met with three guards. One guard gives her a paper. The paper reads, "First task will show how much you know. Fail and you'll see you will be put out quickly."
