Real World Systems of Equations

Solve the System of Equations Word Problem:

The population growth of two towns over a period of five years is compared and represented by the system of equations below.

After how many years do both towns have the same population?

• 4 years

• 10 years

• 14 years

• 6 years

Solve the System of Equations Word Problem:

The population growth of two towns over a period of five years is compared and represented by the system of equations below.

And what would the population be at that time (4 years)?

• 10,000

• 4,000

• 6,000

• 16,000

Solve the System of Equations Word Problem:

The cost of two gym memberships over a period of 6 months is compared and represented by the system of equations below.

After how many months do both gym memberships have the same total cost?

• 4 months

• 200 months

• 6 months

• 3 months

Solve the System of Equations Word Problem:

The cost of two gym memberships over a period of 6 months is compared and represented by the system of equations below.

If the total cost is the same at 4 months,

what would the total cost be at that time?

• $200

• $4

• $150

• $60

Solve the System of Equations Word Problem:

The cost of two cabs over the number of miles traveled is compared and represented by the system of equations below.

After how many miles do both cabs have the same total cost?

• 3 miles

• 4 miles

• 8 miles

• 6 miles

Solve the System of Equations Word Problem:

The cost of two cabs over the number of miles traveled is compared and represented by the system of equations below.

We now know that the mileage is the same at 4 miles. What would the total cost be at that milage?

• $8

• $4

• $6

• $2

How prepared are you for the test tomorrow?

• I'm ready!

• Almost prepared, but I will take some time to study.

• Test? What test?
