Solving Systems of Equations

Solve the system of equations by graphing.
y = -4x + 5
y =  3x - 16

• (-3, -25)

• (3,-7)

• (11, 17)

• (21, 47)

Alexandra finds that she can give 3 haircuts and 2 hair dyes in 315 minutes. Giving 2 haircuts and 4 hair dyes takes 450 minutes.  Which system of equations represents the situation?

• 3x + 2y = 315
  2x + 4y = 450

• 3x + 2y = 450
  2x + 4y = 315

• 2x + 2y = 315
  3x + 4y = 450

Solve the system given:
3x - y = 7
2x + y = 3

• (-1,2)

• (5,4)

• (4,5)

• (2,-1)

There are 50 donkeys and chickens on a far.  There are a total of 174 legs.  Which system below can be used to figure out how many of each animal the farm has?

• d + c = 174
  4d + 2c = 50

• d + c = 50
  4d + 2c = 174

• d + c = 50
  2d + 4c = 174

• d + c = 174
  2d + 4c = 50

What is the solution?

• (1, -1)

• (-1, 1)

• (0, -2)

• (0, 1)

solve by substitution: y=3x+14
y=-4x

• y=3

• y=1

• y=2

• y=4

Given the equation y = 7x + 11, write another equation that will result in “No Solution” when both equations are graphed.

• y = -7x

• y = 7

• y = 7x + 2

Lisa and Tammy are selling items at the craft show.  Which might be a reasonable solution from the graph showing the number of items sold when they both have earned the same amount?

• (1, 12)

• (3, 19)

• (5, 25)

• (0, 10)

What is the solution to this system?
y = 2x + 1
y = 4x - 1

• (1,3)

• (-1,-3)

• (-1,3)

• (3,1)

The ordered pair that satisfies BOTH equations in the system is called the _____________________
