Bowden Systems of Equations

What is the solution to the system?

• (0, 3)

• (1, -1)

• (-3, 1)

• (1, 3)

Solve for x and y

Solve the following system by setting the two equations equal to each other.  What is the solution?
HINT:  - 1/3x + 4 = 2/3x + 1 and then solve for x.  Once you find x go back and find y.

A customer at a store paid $64 for 3 large candles and 4 small candles. At the same store, a second customer paid $4 more than the first customer for 1 large candle and 8 small candles. The price of each large candle is the same, and the price of each small candle is the same. Which system of equations can be used to find the price in dollars of each large candle, x, and each small candle, y?

• 4y = 3x + 64

  8y = x + 68

• 4y = 3x + 64

  8y = x + 60

• 3x + 4y = 64

  x + 8y = 68

• 3x + 4y = 64

  x + 8y = 60
