Math Systems of Linear Equations

Two students are reading a book. Keith reads 6 pages a day. Tameka reads 5 pages a day, but he starts sooner and has already read 15 pages.

Which two equations below form a system of equations to represent the situation, using d for days and p for pages.

• p = d + 6

• p = 6d

• p = d + 5 + 15

• p = 5d + 15

How many solutions does the system of equations have?

• No solution

• One solution at x = 0, y = 0

• One solution at x = 0, y = 5

• Infinitely many solutions
