A farmer feeds his cow 200 pounds of feed each day and has 700 pounds of feed in his barn. Another farmer feeds his cows 350 pounds of feed each day and has 1000 pounds of feed in his barn.

  1. In how many days will the two farmers have the same amount of feed left?

  2. How would your answer change if both farmers got an additional 1000 pounds of feed?

1. 2 days

2. 2 days, it would not change since you are giving both farmers the same (equal) amount of feed

How do you know where to shade when solving systems of inequalities?

Test a point in the inequality. If it's true, shade toward the point. If false, shade away from the point. The solution is where the shaded regions overlap.

The equations 5x + 2y = 48 and 3x + 2y = 32 represent the money collected from school concert tickets sales during two class periods. If x represents the cost for each adult ticket and y represents the cost for each student ticket, what is the cost for each adult ticket?

How can you tell if a linear system has infinitely many solutions?


The equations are the same, the graphed lines lie on top of one another, or solving the system provides a true statement with no variables.
