Review of Algebra

Dennis mowed his next door neighbor’s lawn for a handful of dimes and nickels, 80 coins in all.  Upon completing the job he counted out the coins and it came to $6.60.  Which system of equations could be used to find the exact number of dimes and nickels? 

• d + n = 6.60
  .10d + .05n = 80

• d + n = 80
  d + n = 6.60

• d + n = 80
  .10d + .05n = 6.60

• d + n = 80
  .05d + .10n = 6.60

Last season two running backs on the Steelers football team rushed a combined total of 1550 yards.  One rushed 4 times as many yards as the other.  Let x and y represent the number of yards each individual player rushed. Which system of equations could be used? 

• x + y = 1550
  y  = 4x

• x + y = 1550
  y = x + 4

• y - x = 1550
  y = 4x

• y = 1550 + x
  y = x + 4

Flagship Cinemas sells movie tickets that are $4 for matinees and $7 for regular. One night, the theater sells 578 tickets and collects $3365 in total ticket sales.
Which system best represents the situation?

• 4x + 7y = 578
  x + y = 3365

• 4x + 7y = 3365
  x + y = 578

• 4y + 7x = 578
  x + y = 3365

• 4y + 7x = 3365
  x + y = 578
