Illustrative Math Algebra 2

At a college bookstore, Carla purchased a math textbook and a novel that cost a total of $54, not including tax. If the price of the math textbook, t, is $8 more than 3 times the price of the novel, n, which system of linear equations could be used to determine the price of each book?

• t + n = 54
  t = 3n + 8

• t + n = 54
  n = 3t + 8

• t + n = 54
  t = 3n - 8

• t + n = 8
  t = 3n + 54

Solve the equation, if possible. x+2x-1=38

8v - 4(v + 8) = 8

• 2

• 10

5x - 4 + 2x = 3

• 1

• 2

• 3

• 4

What is the solution?

• (1, -1)

• (-1, 1)

• (0, -2)

• (2, 0)

When you graph the exact same equation twice,

• you will have no solution. 

• you will have one solution.

• you will have infinite solutions. 

• you will graph a giraffe. 

^{What is the solution?} 

• 1

• -2

• (1, 2)

• (1, -1)
