Beth bought 15 tickets to a movie, where adult tickets cost $6.00 and senior citizen tickets cost $4.00. She spent a total of $76. Which two equations below represent the system of equations that could be used to determine the number of adult tickets, a, and the number of senior citizen tickets, s, Beth purchased?

• a + s = 76

• a + s = 15

• 4a + 6s = 15

• 6a + 4s = 76

• 4a + 6s = 76

The perimeter of a rectangular playground is 3,900 feet. The length of the playground is 40 feet greater than the width. Choose the two equations below that make up the system that can be used to determine l, the length, and w, the width of the playground?

• 2L + 2W = 3900

• L + W = 3900

• LW = 3900

• L + 40 = W

• W + 40 = L

Which of the following statements correctly describes the solution to the system of equations below?

x + y = 6

x - y = -14

• The two lines have slopes that are equal, and so the system has no solution.

• The two lines have slopes that are equal, and so the system has one solution.

• The two lines have slopes that are different, and so the system has no solution.

• The two lines have slopes that are different, and so the system has one solution.

A zookeeper needs to mix feed for the prairie dogs so that the feed has the right amount of protein. Feed A has 12% protein. Feed B has 5% protein. Choose the two equations that would represent the system of equations that could be used to determine the amount of each feed he would need to mix to get 100 lb of feed that is 8% protein?

Let A represent the amount of feed A in the mixture; let B represent the amount of feed B in the mixture.

• A + B = 100

• 0.12 A + 0.05B = 100

• 0.12A + 0.05B = 0.08(100)

• A + B = 0.08(100)
