The name of a way to solve a systems of equation
What is substitution?
y = x + 4
y = 2x + 5
Hailey is organizing a field trip. The school has small buses that can seat 16 students and large buses that can seat 32 students. There are 112 students and 4 bus drivers. What equations can represent this system of equations?
What is x+y=4 and 16x+2y=112
Is (8,2) a solution to the system of equations?
x = 4y
2x + 3y = 22
Yes
y = 3x - 2
y = -x - 2
A video rental company offers a plan that includes a membership fee of $4 and charges $2 for every DVD borrowed. They also offer a second plan, that costs $32 per month for unlimited DVD rentals. If a customer borrows enough DVDs in a month, the two plans cost the same amount. What is that total cost of either plan? How many DVDs is that?
Let y = total cost x= # of DVD’s
Each option costs $32 if a customer rents 14 DVDs.
Is (7, -5) a solution to the system of equations?
y = x - 2
3x - y = 16
No
y = -3
x = 5
Scott is a plumber, and his coworker Peter is an electrician. Scott charges customers a fee of $96 just to come to their houses and then $3 per minute that he is there. Peter also charges a fee of $110 for a home visit, plus an additional $1 per minute. Last week the coworkers went to a job site together, spent the same amount of time working, and earned the same amount. How much did each one earn? How much time did each one spend working?
Let y= money earned x = # of minutes
Scott and Peter each earned $117 over 7 minutes
Is (3, 8) a solution to the system of equations?
y = 3x - 1
7x + 2y = 37
Yes
y = (1/3)x - 3
2x - y = 8
Mrs. Landry is a dance teacher whose students are going to have a recital. She is comparing two companies' prices for filming the recital and producing DVDs. Ella's Productions charges $11 per DVD, plus $27 to come and film the recital. Belmont Media charges $83 to film, plus $4 per DVD. To decide which company to use, Mrs. Landry determines the number of DVDs that would make the two options equivalent in terms of cost. How much would each option cost? How many DVDs would that be?
Let y= total cost x = # of DVD’s
$115 for 8 DVDS
Is (2, -5) a solution to the system of equations?
3s - 2t = 4
t = 2s - 1
No
y - 3x = 3
y = 3x - 2
The sum of Mr. Micklow and Ms. Craft's age is 55. The difference is 3.
Solve for their ages.
x + y = 55
x - y = 3
(29, 26)
What is the solution to the system of equations?
t + u = 12
t = (1/3)u
What is (3, 9)?
