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

Solve using substitution.
x - 2y = 2
3x + 4y = 3

• (1.4, -0.3)
• (3.1, 5)
• (-2.5, 3.5)
• (6.9, 1.02)
