Let: p=Number of pumpkins sold
s=Number of squash sold
What is...
Income: 5p + 3s = 98
Items sold: s = 6 + p,
Solve for y in terms of x:
3x+y=5
What is...

Write a system of equations for the following scenario: A library contains 2000 books. There are 3 times as many non-fiction books as fiction books.
Let f=number of fiction books
n=number of non-fiction books
What is...
Total number of books: n + f = 2000
Comparing number of books: n = 3f
Solve for y in terms of x:

Write a two equations to describe the scenario:
You make 14 baskets during your basketball game. Some of those baskets were worth 2-points and others were worth 3-points. You had a total of 30 points. let x=number of two point baskets and y=number of three-point baskets.
50 Point Bonus: How many were 2-point baskets?
What is...
Total number of baskets: x + y = 14
Total number of points: 2x + 3y = 30
50 Bonus points: 12 were 2-point baskets
Solve for y in terms of x:
10x-5y=30
What is...
y=2x-6
Write a system of equations to describe the situation: The sum of two numbers is 16 and their difference is 20. What are the two numbers?
Let x=one number and y=the other number
50 Point Bonus: Find the two numbers
Sum: x + y = 16
Difference: x - y = 20
50 Point Bonus: 18 and -2
Solve for y in terms of x:
7x-2y=15
What is...
y = 3.5x - 7.5
Write a system of equations to solve the following scenario: Brent has $3.35 in quarters and dimes. If he has 23 coins in all, how many quarters and dimes does he have?
50 point Bonus: Solve it.
What is...
Number of coins: q + d = 23
Value of coins: 25q + 10de = 335
50 point Bonus: 16 dimes and 7 quarters
Solve for y:
ax + by = c
