y=-2

4x - 3y = 18

(3, -2)

Identify the opposites in this system of equations.

4x - 3y =27

-2x+ 3y = -21

-3y and 3y will cancel out because the coefficents are opposites

You sell teddy bears and dolls. A total of 33 toys were sold earning $400 in sales for your toy store. Each teddy bear cost $8 and each doll cost $12.

Write a system of equations that could be used to determine the number of toys the business sold (DO NOT SOLVE).

x + y = 33

8x + 12 y = 400

a) a flat fee of 13 dollars

b) a charge per mile of 6 dollars

c) a charge for mile of 13 dollars

d) total daily charges of 29 dollars

e) none of the above
