You attend an Eagles game. At the first food stall, the price of nachos is $4 and a beverage is $2 and you spent $12. At another food stall the price of nachos is $2 and a beverage is $1 and you spent $8. Write a system to represent both food stalls.
Final Answer
n=nacho
b=beverage
4n+2b=12
2n+b=8

At a basketball game, all tickets are the same price and all souvenirs are the same price. Bobby bought 2 tickets to this basketball game and 1 souvenir for a total of $17.25. Emily bought 5 tickets to the same game and 2 souvenirs for a total of $42.00. Set up a system of linear equations for this situation.
2t + s = 17.25
5t + 2s = 42

The cost of three notebooks and four pencils is $8.50.
The cost of five notebooks and eight pencils is $14.50.
Set up a system of equations and determine the cost of one notebook and the cost of one pencil.
x=Note Book; y=Pencils
3x+4y=8.50
5x+8y=14.50
x=Note book=$2.50
y=pencil=$0.25

When solving a system of linear equations algebraically, how do you know when the system has no solution?
When solving a system of linear equations algebraically, how do you know when the system has infinitely many solutions?
No solution:
When we end up with a false statement or if slope of both equations is same but different y-intercept.
Infinitely many solutions
When we end up with a true statement or if slope of both equations is same and y-intercept is also same.
Mr. Green is buying halloween candy to prepare for next year. He has $75 to spend (he wants to spend all of it), and he is buying king size twix bars for $3 and a regular pack of starburst for $2. He buys a total of 25 items of candy.
Write the system of equations that represent this word problem.
Final Answer
75=3t+2s
25=t+s
