The senior class at Rivermont High School rented and filled 11 vans and 3 buses with 283 students. The senior class at Washington High School rented and filled 12 vans and 14 buses with 770 students. Which system of equations solves this problem to show how many students were in each van and each bus?

• 11v + 3b = 283

  12v + 14b = 770

• v + b = 14

  v + b = 16

• 11v + 12v = 283

  3b + 14b = 770

• v + b = 30

  23v + 17b = 1053

Homer sells tickets for admission to your school play and collects a total of $104. Admission prices are $6 for adults and $4 for children. He sold 21 tickets total.

To solve, I graphed:

x + y = 21 ,

6x + 4y = 104

I got an intersection point at (10,11). What does that mean in context of the problem?

• There are 10 adults and 11 children.

• There are 11 adults and 10 children.

• The adults are $10 and the children are $11.

• There are 104 adults and 21 children.

There are 15 animals in a barn.  These animals are horses and chickens.  There are 44 legs in all.  Write a system of equations that could be used to determine the number of horses (x) and the number of chickens (y) in the barn.

• x + y = 15
  4x + 2y = 44
• 4x + 2y = 15
  x + y = 44
• x = 2y + 44
  4x = y + 15
• 2x - 4y = 44
  x - y = 15
