y = x - 1

(-3, -4)

Write out the two equations, DO NOT SOLVE:

Matt and Ming are selling fruit for a school fundraiser. Customers can buy small boxes of oranges and large boxes of oranges. Matt sold 3 small boxes of oranges and 14 large boxes of oranges for a total of $203. Ming sold 11 small boxes of oranges and 11 large boxes of oranges for a total of $220.

3s+14L=203

11s+11L=220

Solve the system using substitution or elimination.

x + 3y = 5

2x -3y = -8

When do you use a dotted line when graphing inequalities?

> or <

100
Consists of two or more linear equations in the same variables.
System of linear equations (linear system)

Solve by graphing:

y = 2x + 4

y = 3x + 2

Write out the equations, DO NOT SOLVE: 

You are running a concession stand at a basketball game. You are selling hot dogs and sodas. Each hot dog costs $1.50 and each soda costs $0.50. At the end of the night you made a total of $78.50. You sold a total of 87 hot dogs and sodas combined.

1.50x + 0.50y = 78.50 

x + y = 87

Solve the system using substitution or elimination.

2x+3y=8

y=x+1

How is graphing systems of inequalities different than graphing systems of equations? (2 things)
Sometimes they use dotted lines and you have to shade for inequalities.
200
The method of solving equations where you add or subtract equations to end up with one variable.
Elimination

Solve by graphing:

x = 3

y = 2x + 1

Write out the two equations, DO NOT SOLVE: 

The senior classes at High School A and High School B planned separate trips to New York City. The senior class at High School A rented and filled 1 van and 6 buses with 372 students. High School B rented and filled 4 vans and 12 buses with 780 students. Each van and each bus carried the same number of students.

1v+6b=372

4v+12b=780

Solve the system using substitution or elimination.

6x + 7y = 20

y = 2x+10

(-5/2, 5)

How do you know where to shade when solving systems of inequalities?
Test a point in the equations. If it's true, shade toward the point. If false, shade away. Where the shaded regions overlap is your solution.
300
How can you tell if a linear system has infinitely many solutions?
The equations are the same or solving the system provides a true statement with no variables.

Solve by graphing:

4x + 2y = 8

2x + y = 4

No solution

If there is no solution to a system of equations, what do the two equations look like on a graph?

They will be parallel lines
