What is -3? (Simplify)

200

Convert the following equation from standard form to slope-intercept form:

-5x + 5y = 15

y = x+3

200

Write and equation that models this situation:

Serena has a bank account with $400 and deposits $180 in it every week.  Let x be the number of weeks and y be the amount of money in her bank account.

y = 180x + 400

A local faire sells adult tickets at $16 and child tickets at $8.  If the total ticket sales total to $3200, this situation is modeled by the equation 16x + 8y = 3200, where x is the number of adult tickets and y is the number of child tickets.

If the faire sold 43 adult tickets, what is the number of child tickets?

314 child tickets

Write the equation of the line with slope 1/4 and passes through (12, 1).

What is y = (1/4)x - 2?

300

Convert the following equation from standard form to slope-intercept form:

9x+12y=  −108

y = -(3/4)x - 9

300

Write and equation that models this situation:

Journee has a bag filled with both nickels and quarters.  She has a total of $12.75 in the bag.  Let x be the number of nickels and y be the number of quarters.

12.75 = .05x + .25y

This is Mr. Patterson's favorite drink in the morning.

What is either an iced latte or a London Fog?

400

A local faire sells adult tickets at $16 and child tickets at $8.  If the total ticket sales total to $3200, this situation is modeled by the equation 16x + 8y = 3200, where x is the number of adult tickets and y is the number of child tickets.

Is it possible for the faire to have sold 120 adult tickets and 172 child tickets?

No, because 16(120) + 8(172) is more than 3200.
