Systems of Equations Review

Complete the following questions on separate paper or on the back of this paper. Check some of your answers by using your calculator (the graphing method). Check the rest of your answers by substituting your solution back into both equations to confirm that it is a point on both lines.

1. Solve the following systems of equations:

a) 3x 2y = 3 4x + y = 15 7

b) 2y = 3x + 1 yx=2

c) 3x 2y = 1 5x + 2y =

2. The sum of 2 numbers is equal to 60. The bigger number doubled minus the smaller number is 82.5 Write 2 equations and then solve to find the 2 numbers.

3. Solve the following systems of equations:

a) 4y 3x = 0 2y = x + 2 =8

b) 3x + 5y = 4 5x 2y = -14

c) y = x + 2 3y 3x

4. 3 books and 4 pens cost 1600 PhP. In the same shop 2 books and 5 pens cost

1300 PhP. Write 2 equations to show this situation. Define your variables clearly and specifically. Solve to find the cost of 1 book. 5. A movie theater sells tickets for $9.00 each. Senior citizens receive a discount of $3.00. The theater computers kept track of how many tickets were sold (636 total) and how much revenue was taken in ($4974 total), but they did not keep track of how many regular tickets were sold and how many senior tickets were sold. The manager wants to know this information and so, knowing that you are in Int 2 math, he asks you to figure out how many regular tickets were sold and how many senior tickets were sold.
