#1
Isolate the variable so that it is alone on one side of the equal sign.
9 A
Is 0 a solution to the equation? 50 = 2x + 38
No, x = 6
#5 A
No, (0,220) is not on the line. (0,200) is though. To be a solution it must be on the line.
#2 - What does it mean for two equations to be equivalent?
They have the same solution. Example:
2x = 10 and 3x = 15 have the solution x = 5
You can risk as many points as you'd like for this question - #8
A, D
#5 C - What does (100,58) mean in this situation?
100 adult tickets were sold and 58 student tickets were sold.
#7 A
$15(shirts) + $10(hats) = $500 ???
#9 B - Is 0 a solution to the following equation?
16x = 3x
Yes, 16(0) = 3(0)
#7 B
Also 20 hats b/c 15x20 + 10x20 = $500.
#6
C
9 D - Is 0 a solution to the following equation?
8(x + 2) = 2x + 16
Yes (Let's work this one out on the board together)
#3 - Must use x and y as your variables
1.50x + 2.50y = 6
9 C - Is 0 a solution to the following equations?
9x - 15 = 9 + 3x
No, x = 4
#4 A Solve for x
x = - 6y/4 + 9
#7 C
(x,y) so for (26,11) 26=x and 11=y. If you read the second part it says x is the number of shirts and y is the number of hats, so this means 26 shirts were sold and 11 hats were sold.
#7 D
Yes it is a solution because $15(26 shirts) + $10(11 hats) equals exactly $500 of merchandise sold. It becomes 390 + 110 which equals 500.
#4 B - Solve for y
y = - 2x/3 + 6
