If a system of equations has no solution, what does the graph look like? 

• intersecting lines

• parallel lines

• skew lines

• intersecting lines

How many solutions does this system of equations have?

• No solution

• Infinitely Many Solutions

• Two Solutions

There are 50 donkeys and chickens on a far.  There are a total of 174 legs.  Which system below can be used to figure out how many of each animal the farm has?

• d + c = 174
  4d + 2c = 50

• d + c = 50
  4d + 2c = 174

• d + c = 50
  2d + 4c = 174

• d + c = 174
  2d + 4c = 50

Solve the system of equations by graphing.
y = -4x + 5
y =  3x - 16

• (-3, -25)

• (3,-7)

• (11, 17)

• (21, 47)

If a system of linear equations has one solution, what does this mean about the two lines? 

• Parallel lines

• the same line 

• Intersecting lines

Solve for x and y
3x + 2y = 16
7x + y = 19

• (-2,5)

• (-2,-5)

• (2,-5)

• (2,5)

This system has _____ solutions

• 0

• 1

• 2

• Infinitely many

Alexandra finds that she can give 3 haircuts and 2 hair dyes in 315 minutes. Giving 2 haircuts and 4 hair dyes takes 450 minutes.  Which system of equations represents the situation?

• 3x + 2y = 315
  2x + 4y = 450

• 3x + 2y = 450
  2x + 4y = 315

• 2x + 2y = 315
  3x + 4y = 450

At a restaurant the cost for a breakfast taco and a small glass of milk is $2.10. The cost for 2 tacos and 3 small glasses of milk is $5.15. If a system of equations is written, which would be the correct representation of the 2 variables?

• t: # of tacos

  m: # of glasses of milk

• t: Cost of each taco

  m: Cost of each glass of milk

• t: total cost

  m: # of food items

• t: Cost of each glass of milk

  m: Cost of each taco

What are systems of linear equations?

• a set of two or more linear equations in the same variables

• a polynomial with three terms

• set of two or more linear inequalities in the same variables
