Ch 5.1-5.3 Quiz: Solving Systems

y = -2x + 18
y = 8

• (5, 8)
• (-5, 8)
• (2, 8)
• (-2, 8)

What is the solution to the system?

• (0, 3)
• (1, -1)
• (-3, 1)
• (1, 3)

what is the resulting combined equation to the following system:

5x - 4y = 11

5x + 4y = -14

• 5x = -3

• 10y = -3

• 10x = -3

• 10x = -25

what is the resulting combined equation for the system below?

9x + y = 12

-9x + y = 6

• -18x = 18

• y = 18

• 2y= 18

• 18x + 2y = 18

Solve using Elimination Method:

x - y = 11

2x + y = 19

• (10,-1)

• (-1,10)

• (3,-4)

• (6,7)

Solve the system by substitution.
 
5x + 4y= −14
y =  −7x  −  15 

• (-2, -1)
• (1, -2)
• (-2, 1)
• (-1, -2)

Nancy went to the grocery story.  On Monday she purchased 4 apples and 6 bananas for a total of $13.  On Wednesday she purchased 3 apples and 7 bananas for a total of $13.50.  Which system of equations represents the situation?

• 4x + 6y = 3
  13.5x - 13y = 6
• x + y = 4
  x - y = 6
• 4x + 6y = 13
  3x + 7y = 13.5
• 4x - 6y = 13
  3x - 7y = 13.5

The talent show committee sold a total of 530 tickets in advance. Student tickets cost $3 each and the adult tickets cost $4 each. If the total receipts were $1740, which system could be used to find how many of each type of ticket were sold?

• S + A = 530
  3S + 4A = 1740
• S + A = 530
  4S + 3A = 1740
• S + A = 1740
  3S + 4A = 530
• S + A = 1740
  4S + 3A = 530

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

What is the first step in solving a system by Substitution?

• Make sure both equations are in standard form.
• Make sure at least one equation is solved for one variable.
• Make sure both equations are in slope-intercept form.
• Make sure both equations can be solved.
