Harold bought 4 pens and 3 pencils for $10. Jake bought 2 pens and 1 pencil for $4. Write a system of equations to represent this scenario.  

4x + 3y = 10

2x + 1y = 4

100

What is standard form? 

ax+by=c

100

-x + 2y = -15 

8x - 2y = -20 

(-5, -10) 

100

Is the ordered pair (-2,-2) a solution to the inequality shown on the graph? Explain.

No, the ordered pair is on a dashed boundary line, so it is not included in the solution set.  

100

What strategy would you use and explain why?

14x + 2y = 26

-14x - 6y = -50

elimination because the coefficients of x will cancel out.

200

The basketball game brought in a total of $550 last night by selling a total of 75 tickets. Student tickets (s) were sold for $5 and adult tickets (a) were sold for $10.  Write 2 equations to model this situation.

s + a = 75

5s + 10a = 550

200

Find the x and y Intercepts for  -2x+3y=12

(-6,0) and (0,4)

200

y= 2x + 3

y= -x -6

(-3,-3)

200

Write an inequality that represents the graph.

y > 1/2x + 2

200

What strategy would you use and explain why?

-5x - 5y = 10

y = -4x -17

substitution because y is already solved for.

300

A cafe sells strawberry smoothies and banana smoothies. The cafe makes a profit of $2.25 for each strawberry smoothie and a profit of $2 for each banana smoothie that is sold. The owner of the cafe wants to make a profit of more than $90 per day from the sale of smoothies. Write an inequality that represents the number of strawberry and banana smoothies the cafe needs to sell.

2.25x + 2y >90

300

Find the x and y Intercepts for  7x-6x=-21

(-3,0) and (0, 3.5)

300

-x + 3y = -15 

3x + 3y = 21

(9, -2) 

300

Is the ordered pair (-3,1) a solution of the system of linear inequalities? Explain.

No, the point is on the dashed line, which means it is not included in the solution set. 

300

Is there 1 solution, No solution, or Infinite solutions for the system of linear equations below? AND JUSTIFY WHY

3x - y = 19

-3x + y = 10

No Solutions because it is a false statement.

400

Charity wants to buy more than 5 items at sheetz but only has $6.50 to spend. Each candy bar cost $1 and each drink cost $1.50. Write a system of inequalities to find the number of candy bars (c) and the number of drinks (d) she bought.

c + d > 5

1c + 1.50d ≤ 6.50

400

Find the missing point using the following equation: 5x-2y=14  (2,?)

(2,-2)

400

y = -2x - 9

3x - 6y = 9

(-3, -3)

400

Write a system of linear inequalities represented by the graph:

y>=2/3x-2

y>=-3x+2

400

What is a system? 

Two or more equations or inequalities  

500

Andy has over 10 movies and tv episodes he wants to watch this weekend. He only is allowed to watch under 12 hours of . Each movie is 2 hours long and each show is 0.5 hours long. Write a system of inequalities to represent the situation  

m + s > 10

2m + .5s < 12

500

The equation of a line has a slope that is -2 and the x-intercept is (5, 0). What is the y intercept? 

(0, 10)
500
