• 2 = 2

• -3 = 3

• all of the above

Which graph represents a system of equations with infinite solutions?

• 
• 
• 
• None of the above

x = -3y - 17

2x + 3y = -7

• (1, -20)

• (10, 0)

• (-5, -2)

• (10 , -9)

3x + 2y = 8

-x + y = -11

• (-5,6)

• (6,-11)

• (-6,-5)

• (6,-5)

What is the solution to the system of equations?

• (3,1)

• (1,3)

• (3,-1)

• (3,-1)

Solve the system of equations.

• (1, 4)

A large pizza at Palanzio’s Pizzeria costs $6.80 plus $0.90 for each topping.The cost of a large cheese pizza at Guido’s Pizza is $7.30 plus $0.65 for each topping. Which system of equations could be used to find the number of toppings when both companies cost the same amount?

• y = 6.80 + .65x

  y = 7.30 + .90x

• x + y = 6.80

  x + y = 7.30

• y = 6.80 + .90x

  y = 7.30 + .65x

• y + .90x = 6.80

  y + .65x = 7.30

Some students want to order shirts with their school logo. One company charges $9.65 per shirt plus a setup fee of $43. Another company charges $8.40 per shirt plus a $58 fee. Which equation represents the number of shirts when both companies charge the same amount?

• y = 9.65 + x

  y = 8.40 + x

• y = 9.65x + 43

  y = 8.40x + 58

• y = 9.65x

  y = 8.40x

• y = 9.65x - 43

  y = 8.40x - 58

Dustin and his workout partner are lifting weights together, doing many sets of each exercise. On a certain exercise, Dustin is using a 35-kilogram bar, increasing the amount of weight he lifts by 3 kilograms on each set. His partner, meanwhile, started out using a 40-kilogram bar and is upping the weight by adding 2 kilograms on every set. Eventually, Dustin and his workout partner will be lifting the same amount, and will take turns using the same barbell. How much weight will they be lifting then?

Write a system of equations in order to find the solution.

• 75 kilograms

• 5 kilograms

• 50 kilograms

• 80 kilograms
