Instructions:

1) Answer all questions. Write neatly and legibly.

2) Show your workings out(method)

3) Calculators allowed.

4) Write your final answer as a point (x, y).

Systems of Equations by Graphing

!
1. Equation 1: 𝑦 = 3x − 5 Equation 2: 𝑦 = − 3 𝑥 + 5
2. Solve the system by graphing. Label your graph and write your solution (x,y).
Equation 1: 4y = 2x - 16 Equation 2: 3x + y = 3
Systems of Equations Algebraically

3. Solve the system of equations using elimination:

Equation 1: 8x + 14y = 4
Equation 2: 6x + 7y = 10
4. Solve the following system by substitution.
Equation 1: 2x + y = 20
Equation 2: 6x – 5y = 12
Word Problems - Solve using ANY Method

5. The difference of two numbers is 14. Their sum is 102.

Define each variable, then Set up the equations ONLY.

x – y = 14

x + y = 102

6. The senior classes at High School A and High School B planned separate trips to New
York City. The senior class at High School A rented and filled 1 van and 6 buses with
372 students. High School B rented and filled 4 vans and 12 buses with 780 students.
Each van and each bus carried the same number of students. How many students can a
van carry? How many students can a bus carry?

Define each variable, then Set up the equations ONLY.

1v + 6b = 372

4v + 12b = 780

7. At a college bookstore, Carla purchased a math textbook and a novel that cost a total of
$60. If the price of the math textbook, m, is $6 more than 4 times the price of the novel,
n, which system of linear equations could be used to determine the price of each book?
Define each variable, then Set up the equations ONLY.

m + n = 60

m = 6 + 4n
8. Pick ONE of. The system of equations from questions 5-7 and solve using ANY Method.
