Applications: Systems of Equations and Inequalities

What's the difference between systems of equations and systems of inequalities?

• Systems of equations have 1 solution, no solution, or infinite solutions while systems of inequalities can have a range of solutions.

• Systems of equations use slope-intercept form only while systems of inequalities use standard form only.

• Systems of equations have a shaded region while systems of inequalities do not.

• There is no difference.

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

On Monday Joe bought 10 cups of coffee and 5 doughnuts for his office at the cost of $16.50.   On Tuesday he bought 5 cups of coffee and 10 doughnuts for a total of $14.25.  Which equations could be used to determine the cost of the coffee? 

• 10c + 5d = 14.25
  5c + 10d = 16.50
• 10c + 5d = 16.50
  5c + 10d = 14.25
• c + d = 10
  5c + 10d = 16.50
• c + d = 5
  5c + 10d = 16.50

Your family goes to a restaurant for dinner. There are 6 people in your family. Some order the chicken dinner for $14.80, and some order steak for $17. If the total bill was $91, which system best represents the situation? 

• x + y = 6
  14.80x + 17y = 91
• x + y = 91
  14.80x + 17y = 6
• x + y = 6
  14.80y + 17x = 91
• x + y = 91
  14.80x+ 17y = 6
