Write a system of equations for the following situation. Then solve by graphing. A kicker on a football team scores 1 point for making an extra point and 3 points for making a field goal. The kicker makes a total of 8 extra points and field goals in a game and scores 12 points. Write and solve a system of linear equations to find the number x of extra points and the number of field goals. Explain what the solution means.
System: x + y = 8 Solution: (6, 2) x + 3y = 12 The kicker made 6 extra points and 2 2 field goals.

Write a system of equations for the situation. Solve the system by substitution. There are a total of 64 students in a drama club and a yearbook club. The drama club has 10 more students than the yearbook club. How many students are in the drama club? the yearbook club?
x + y = 64 y + 10 + y = 64 x = 27 + 10 2y + 10 = 64 x = 37 x = y + 10 2y = 54 y = 27 drama: 37 students yearbook: 27 students

Write a system of equations for the situation. Solve by elimination. A landscaper buys 4 peonies and 9 geraniums for $190. Another landscaper buys 5 peonies and 6 geraniums for $185. Write and solve a system of linear equations to find the cost of each peony.
4x + 9y = 190 Solution: x = 25; $25 per peony 5x + 6y = 185

Write a system of linear inequalities for this situation. Graph the inequalities. You can spend at most $21 on fruit. Blueberries cost $4 per pound and strawberries cost $3 per pound. You need at least 3 pounds to make muffins. Is it possible to buy 4 pound of blueberries and 1 pound of strawberries in this situation?
x = pounds of blueberries x + y > 3 (or equal to) y = pounds of strawberries 4x + 3y < 21 ( or equal to) Yes this is more than 3 pounds and costs $19, which is less than $21.

You can spend at most $60 on lace. Cotton lace is $2 per yard and linen lace is $3 per yard. Write an inequality for the amounts of lace you can buy. Can you buy 12 yards of cotton lace and 15 yards of linen lace? Explain
2x + 3y < 60 (or equal to) No you cannot buy 12 yards of cotton lace and 15 yards of linen lace because (12, 15) is not a solution of the inequality.
