    This document contains two word problems that can be translated into systems of equations to solve for unknown prices. The first problem involves finding the price of sandwiches and sodas from information about orders on two days. The second problem involves finding the price of trees and shrubs from information about a landscape company's one-week sale and a customer's purchases. Both problems require defining variables for the unknown prices and writing equations relating the purchases to the amounts paid.

    Algebra 2 Systems of Equations 1/24/12 I can translate a word problem into two equations

    Mary ordered lunch for herself and several co-workers on Monday and Tuesday. On Monday, she paid $7 for five sandwiches and four sodas. On Tuesday, she paid $6 for four of each. Find the price of a sandwich and the price of a soda. How many unknowns (so different variables) are needed to solve this problems? __ State and define the variable(s):

    Write the necessary equations:

    A local landscape company had a one-week sale. On Monday, Mrs. Jo9nes had $82 to spend. After purchasing 5 trees, she had just enough money left to purchase 1 shrub. Later in the same week, she purchased 2 trees. She had $37 with her, so she again had money left to purchase 1 shrub. Find the cost of a tree and the cost of a shrub. How many unknowns (so different variables) are needed to solve this problems? __ State and define the variable(s):

    Write the necessary equations:
