Solving Systems by Elimination Advanced

Christian had brochures printed for a new business venture. Christian originally ordered 4 boxes of black-and-white brochures and 3 boxes of color brochures, which cost a total of $134. After those ran out, Christian spent $120 on 3 boxes of black-and-white brochures and 3 boxes of color brochures. Which system represents this situation?

• x+y=134
  x+y=120

• 3x+3y=134
  4x+3y=120

• 4x+3y=134
  3x+3y=120

• 7xy=134
  6xy=120

The talent show committee sold a total of 530 tickets in advance. Student tickets cost $3 each and the adult tickets cost $4 each. If the total receipts were $1740, how many of each type of ticket were sold?

• S + A = 530
  3S + 4A = 1740

• S + A = 530
  4S + 3A = 1740

• S + A = 1740
  3S + 4A = 530

• S + A = 1740
  4S + 3A = 530

What would be the first step in finding the solution with elimination?

• cross out the 3y and -3y

• cross out the 4x and x

• change all the signs of the second equation

• add 1 and -11

4x+ 9y = 28

-4x -y = -28

• (-7,0)

• (6,0)

• (-6,0)

• (7,0)

• (6,7)

Solve using Elimination Method:

x - y = 11

2x + y = 19

• (10,-1)

• (-1,10)

• (3,-4)

• (6,7)

solve the system

• No solution

• infinite solutions

• (0,0)

• (5,1)

• (5,0)

−4x − 4y = 0

4x + 4y = 0

• (−6, −4)

• Infinite number of solutions

• No Solution

• (6, 4)

• (0,0)

Solve by elimination.

6x - y = 2

-3x - 6y = 12

• (2,0)

• no solution

• (0,-2)

• infinite solutions

Nancy went to the grocery story.  On Monday she purchased 4 apples and 6 bananas for a total of $13.  On Wednesday she purchased 3 apples and 7 bananas for a total of $13.50.  Which system of equations represents the situation?

• 4x + 6y = 3
  13.5x - 13y = 6

• x + y = 4
  x - y = 6

• 4x + 6y = 13
  3x + 7y = 13.5

• 4x - 6y = 13
  3x - 7y = 13.5

The talent show committee sold a total of 530 tickets in advance. Student tickets cost $3 each and the adult tickets cost $4 each. If the total receipts were $1740, which system could be used to find how many of each type of ticket were sold?

• S + A = 530
  3S + 4A = 1740

• S + A = 530
  4S + 3A = 1740

• S + A = 1740
  3S + 4A = 530

• S + A = 1740
  4S + 3A = 530
