Solving Systems of Equations Quick Check

What is the solution?

• (1, -1)
• (-1, 1)
• (0, -2)
• (0, 1)

Solve the system of equations by substitution.
y = 4x+1
3x + 2y = 13

• (1, 5)
• (5, 1)
• (0.25, 2)
• ∅

Solve the system of equations by elimination.

Determine if (4, 1) is a solution for the system of equations. (Hint- plug the (x,y) in to both and see if they are correct.)
y = -x + 5
y = 2x - 7

• yes
• no

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

Some students want to order shirts with their school logo. One company charges $9.65 per shirt plus a setup fee of $43. Another company charges $8.40 per shirt plus a $58 fee. Which equation represents the number of shirts when both companies charge the same amount? 

• y = 9.65 + x
  y = 8.40 + x
• y = 9.65x + 43
  y = 8.40x + 58
• y =9.65x
  y = 8.40x
• y = 9.65x - 43
  y = 8.40x - 58

Solve for x and y by graphing.
y = 2/3x - 2
y = -x + 3

• (0,3)
• (0,-3)
• (3,0)
• (-3,0)

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

• (-2,5)
• (-2,-5)
• (2,-5)
• (2,5)

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