Writing Systems of Linear Equations

There are 15 animals in a barn.  These animals are horses and chickens.  There are 44 legs in all.  Which system of equations represents the situation?

• x + y = 15
  4x + 2y = 44
• 4x + 2y = 15
  x + y = 44
• x = 2y + 44
  4x = y + 15
• 2x - 4y = 44
  x - y = 15

Nancy went to the grocery story. On Monday she purchased 4 apples and 6 bananas for a total of $13. On Wednesday she purchased 3 apples and 7 bananas for a total of $13.50. Which system of equations represents the situation?

• 4x + 6y = 3

  13.5x - 13y = 6

• x + y = 4

  x - y = 6

• 4x + 6y = 13

  3x + 7y = 13.5

• 4x - 6y = 13

  3x - 7y = 13.5

The talent show committee sold a total of 530 tickets in advance. Student tickets cost $3 each and the adult tickets cost $4 each. If the total receipts were $1740, which system could be used to find how many of each type of ticket were sold?

• S + A = 530
  3S + 4A = 1740
• S + A = 530
  4S + 3A = 1740
• S + A = 1740
  3S + 4A = 530
• S + A = 1740
  4S + 3A = 530

Caitlin won a bag full of money! She has 49 bills in all. She counts $1430. There are twenty dollar bills and fifty dollar bills. How many of each bill does Caitlin have? Which system best represents the situation?

• x + y = 1430

  20x + 50y = 49

• x + y = 49

  10x + 5y = 1430

• x + y = 49

  20x + 50y = 1430

• x + y = 49

  x + y = 1430

David is running a concession stand at a soccer game. He sells nachos and sodas. Nachos cost $1.50 each and sodas cost $0.50 each. At the end of the game, David made a total of $78.50 and sold a total of 87 nachos and sodas combined. Which system of equations represents this situation?

• 1.5N+0.5S=78.5

  N+S=87

• 1.5N+0.5S=78.5

  1.5N+0.5S=87

• N+S=78.5

  1.5N+0.5S=87

• N+S=78.5

  N+S=87

A bag contains 18 coins consisting of quarters and dimes. The total value of the coins is $2.85. Which system of equations can be used to find the number of quarters and dimes?

• 0.10q + 0.25d = 2.85

  q + d = 18

• 0.10q + 0.25d = 18

  q + d = 2.85

• 0.25q + 0.10d = 2.85

  q + d = 18

• 0.25q + 0.10d = 18

  q + d = 2.85
