The talent show committee sold a total of 530 tickets in advance. Student tickets cost $3 each and the adult tickets cost $4 each. If the total receipts were $1740, how many of each type of ticket were sold?

• S + A = 530
  3S + 4A = 1740

• S + A = 530
  4S + 3A = 1740

• S + A = 1740
  3S + 4A = 530

• S + A = 1740
  4S + 3A = 530

Solve the system:
x + y = 19
y = 3x - 1

• (14, 5)

• (11, 8)

• (5, 14)

• (8, 11)

Christian had brochures printed for a new business venture. Christian originally ordered 4 boxes of black-and-white brochures and 3 boxes of color brochures, which cost a total of $134. After those ran out, Christian spent $120 on 3 boxes of black-and-white brochures and 3 boxes of color brochures. Which system represents this situation?

• x+y=134
  x+y=120

• 3x+3y=134
  4x+3y=120

• 4x+3y=134
  3x+3y=120

• 7xy=134
  6xy=120

Type the first step to solve this system using substitution:

• 2x + 6(-5x) = -3

• 2x - 5x = -3

• y + 6(-5y) =-3

• 2(-5x) + 6y = -3

What would be the first step in finding the solution with elimination?

• cross out the 3y and -3y

• cross out the 4x and x

• change all the signs of the second equation

• add 1 and -11

Which method would be best (quickest) for solving the system below:

• Substitution

• Elimination

• Graphing

• None of these
