Systems of Linear Functions STAAR Qs

Victoria buys a total of 2.5 pounds of peaches and grapefruit at the store. Peaches cost $1.58 per pound and grapefruit cost $1.09 per pound. If she spends a total of $3.46, which system of equations can be used to determine the weight of the peaches, p, and grapefruit, g that Victoria bought?

• $p+g\ =\ 2.5$
  
  $1.58+1.09g=3.46$

• $p+g\ =\ 3.45$
  
  $1.58+1.09g=2.5$

• $p-g\ =\ 2.5$
  
  $1.58p\ +\ 1.09g\ =\ 3.46$

• $p+g=2.5$
  
  $1.58p-1.09g=2.5$

A sports magazine prints 12 issues per year. A technology magazine prints 10 issues per year. The total number of pages in all the issues of the sports magazine for one year is 32 more than the total number of pages in all the issues of the technology magazine. Each issue of the sports magazine has 18 fewer pages than each issue of the technology magazine. Which system of equations can be used to find s, the number of pages in each issue of the sports magazine and t, the number of pages in each issue of the technology magazine?

• $s=t-18$
  
  $12s=10t+32$

• $s=t-18$
  
  $10s=12t+32$

• $t=s-18$
  
  $10t=12s+32$

• $t=s-18$
  
  $12t=10s+32$
