Write an equation that could be used to find how many packs of DVDs you can buy with 168 dollars if one pack costs 12 dollars.

• 168x = 12

• 12x = 168

• 12(168) = x

• 12 / x = 168

An Algebra book has a total of 1382 pages which is broken into two parts. The second part of the book has 64 more pages than the first part. Write a system of equations to find the number of pages for each part of the book. Let  x =  number of pages of the first part of the book and y = number of pages of the second part of the book

• x + y =1382
  y = 64x

• x + y =1382
  y = 64 + x

• x + y =1382
  y = x - 64

• x + y =1382
  y = -64x

At a holiday ski resort, skis cost $16 to rent and snowboards cost $19. If 28 people rented on a certain day and the resort brought in $478, which system could be used to determine the number of skis (s) and snowboards (b) rented?

• s+b=478
  19s+16b=28

• s + b = 28
  16s+19b=478

• s+b=478
  16s+19b=28

• s+b=28
  19s+16b=478
