1. Is there ONE solution, NO solution or INFINITE solution to this system of equations?

y=-2x + 8 and y = 4x - 10

2. Describe the graph with NO solutions to the system of equations?

3. Solve the system of equations by SUBSTITUTION…show work

y= 4x - 6

6x + 2y = 2

4. Solve the system of equations by ELIMINATION…show work

-4x + 6y = 34

2x - 6y = - 32

5. The Math Club sold slices of pizza, p, at a profit of $4 each and cans of soda, "s", at $1 each, to raise money for a trip. They sold 300 items and made a profit of $600. Write the pair of linear equations that model this situation.

1 answer

1. There is ONE solution to the system of equations.

2. The graph with NO solutions would be two parallel lines that never intersect.

3.
y = 4x - 6

6x + 2(4x - 6) = 2
6x + 8x - 12 = 2
14x - 12 = 2
14x = 14
x = 1

y = 4(1) - 6
y = 4 - 6
y = -2

Therefore, the solution is x = 1, y = -2.

4.
-4x + 6y = 34
2x - 6y = -32

Adding the two equations together:

-2x = 2
x = -1

Substitute x = -1 back into one of the equations:

-4(-1) + 6y = 34
4 + 6y = 34
6y = 30
y = 5

Therefore, the solution is x = -1, y = 5.

5. Let p be the number of slices of pizza and s be the number of cans of soda sold.
The pair of linear equations that model this situation are:

p + s = 300 (total items sold)
4p + s = 600 (total profit made)

These equations represent the total number of items sold and the total profit made.
