Number of Solutions to Systems of Equations and Systems of Inequalities

What's the difference between systems of equations and systems of inequalities?

• Systems of equations have 1 solution, no solution, or infinite solutions while systems of inequalities can have a range of solutions.

• Systems of equations use slope-intercept form only while systems of inequalities use standard form only.

• Systems of equations have a shaded region while systems of inequalities do not.

• There is no difference.

JoAnn likes her job as a baby-sitter, but it pays only $3 per hour. She has been offered a job as a tutor that pays $6 per hour. Because of school, her parents only allow her to work a maximum of 15 hours per week. JoAnn wants to to tutor and baby-sit and make at least $66 per week. Formulate an system of inequalities to model how many hours per week she can work at each job.

• b + t < 15
  3b + 6t > 66

• b + t > 15
  3b + 6t < 66

• 3b + 6t > 15
  b + t < 66

• 3b + 6t < 15
  b + t < 66

Which system of inequalities matches the graph?

• y > 2x - 4
  y < 2

• y < 2x - 4
  y < 2

• y > 2x - 4
  y <  2 

• y < 2x - 4
  y <   -2

Kate is selling bracelets and earrings on Etsy to make money for summer vacation. The bracelets (x) cost $2 and earrings (y) cost $3. She needs to make at least $100, but can only make up to 40 pieces of jewelry. Which inequalities represent this situation?

• 2x + 3y > 100

  x + y ≤ 40

• 100x + 2y > 3

  x + y ≤ 40

• 100x + 40y > 100

  3x + 2y ≤ 40

• 3x + 2y > 100

  x + y ≤ 40
