Solving Equations by Elimination Which Variable

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:
3x + y = 19
2x - y = 6

• (5, 14)

• (4, 5)

• (5, 4)

• (14, 5)

7x - y = -10
-7x + 5y = -6

• (-2, -4)

• (-2, -1)

• (-4, -1)

• (6, -8)

The cost of 5 squash and 2 zucchini is $1.32. Three squash and 1 zucchini cost $0.75. Write a system of equations.

• 5q + 2z = 1.32
  1z = 0.75

• 5q + 2z = 1.32
  3q + 1z = 0.75

• q + z = 1.32
  q + z = 0.75

• 5q + 2z = 0.75
  3q + 1z = 1.32

Solve by elimination:

4x+9y=28

-4x-2y=-28

• (-7,0)

• (6,0)

• (-6,0)

• (7,0)

4x +  8y = 20
-4x + 2y = -30
