CQI - (MMQ) Solving Linear Systems (Any Method)

At a college bookstore, Carla purchased a math textbook and a novel that cost a total of $54, not including tax. If the price of the math textbook, t, is $8 more than 3 times the price of the novel, n, which system of linear equations could be used to determine the price of each book?

• t + n = 54
  t = 3n + 8
• t + n = 54
  n = 3t + 8
• t + n = 54
  t = 3n - 8
• t + n = 8
  t = 3n + 54

The school that Stefan goes to is selling tickets to a choral performance. On the first day of ticket sales the school sold 3 senior citizen tickets and 1 child ticket for a total of $38. The school took in $52 on the second day by selling 3 senior citizen tickets and 2 child tickets. Which equations represents the system that could be used? 

• 1s + 3c = 38
  2s + 3c = 52
• 3s + 1c = 38
  3s + 2c = 52
• s + c = 38
  s + c = 52
• 3s + 3c = 38
  1s + 2c = 52

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

Luka and Dana are making cookies for the Westland Pantry. They only have up to 6 hours to bake! They can bake 32 chocolate chip cookies in an hour (x), and 20 snickerdoodle cookies in an hour (y). They need to make at least 150 cookies. Which inequalities represent the situation?

• x + y ≥ 6
  32x + 20y ≤ 150

• x + y ≥ 632
  x + 20y ≥ 150

• x + y ≤ 6
  32x + 20y ≤ 150

• x + y ≤ 6
  32x + 20y ≥ 150

Kate is selling bracelets and earrings on Etsy to make money for summer vacation. The bracelets (x) cost $2 and earrings (y) cost $3. She needs to make at least $100, but can only make up to 40 pieces of jewelry. Which inequalities represent this situation?

• 2x + 3y > 100

  x + y ≤ 40

• 100x + 2y > 3

  x + y ≤ 40

• 100x + 40y > 100

  3x + 2y ≤ 40

• 3x + 2y > 100

  x + y ≤ 40
