Algebra STAAR Review

Parallel Lines never intersect because...

• they have the same slopes. 

• they have the same y-intercept.

• they have different slopes.

• they have different y-intercepts. 

Erin is 3 years younger than twice Alex's age. Their ages combined are 33 years. How old are Alex and Erin. If x=Erin's age and y=Alex's age, choose the system that matches the situation.

• x + y = 33
  y = 2x - 3

• x + y = 33
  x = 2y - 3

• x + y = 33
  x = 3 - 2y

• x + y = 3
  x = 33 - 2y
