Kim is selling tickets to a dance competition.

On the first day she sold 8 adult tickets and 3 child tickets for $122.

On the second day she sold 4 adult tickets and 4 child tickets for $76.

Write the system of equations.

• 8a + 4a = 122

  3c + 4c = 76

• 8a -3c = 122

  4a-4c=76

• 3c -4c = 76

  8a - 4a = 122

• 8a + 3c = 122

  4a + 4c = 76

High school seniors are going on a trip.

Group A rented 5 vans and 8 buses that carry 233 students.

Group B rented 7 vans and 10 buses that carry 301 students.

Write a system of equations.

• 5v + 7v = 233

  8b + 10b = 301

• 5v + 8b = 233

  7v + 10b = 301

• 5v - 8b = 233

  7v - 10b = 301

• 5v + 8b = 233

  -7v - 10b = 301

The soccer finals are being played here in Las Vegas. The Scorpions rented 5 vans and 3 buses to bring 75 players. The Sharks are renting 4 vans and 8 buses to bring 144 players. Write a system of equations to model the math.

• 4b + 8b = 144

  3v + 5v = 75

• 5v + 4v = 144

  3b + 8b = 75

• 5v + 3b = 75

  4v + 8b = 144

• 5v + 8b = 4v + 8b

Dennis mowed his next door neighbor’s lawn for a handful of dimes and nickels, 80 coins in all.  Upon completing the job he counted out the coins and it came to $6.60.  Which system of equations could be used to find the exact number of dimes and nickels? 

• d + n = 6.60
  .10d + .05n = 80
• d + n = 80
  d + n = 6.60
• d + n = 80
  .10d + .05n = 6.60
• d + n = 80
  .05d + .10n = 6.60
