Systems of Equations Estimating

Alexandra finds that she can give 3 haircuts and 2 hair dyes in 315 minutes. Giving 2 haircuts and 4 hair dyes takes 450 minutes.  Which system of equations represents the situation?

• 3x + 2y = 315
  2x + 4y = 450

• 3x + 2y = 450
  2x + 4y = 315

• 2x + 2y = 315
  3x + 4y = 450

Alexandra finds that she can give 3 haircuts and 2 hair dyes in 315 minutes. Giving 2 haircuts and 4 hair dyes takes 450 minutes.  How long does it take her to do a haircut?
3x + 2y = 315
2x + 4y = 450

• 45 minutes

• 90 minutes
  2x + 4y = 315

• 60 minutes
  3x + 4y = 450

• 30 minutes

If a system of equations has no solution, what does the graph look like?

• intersecting lines

• parallel lines

• skew lines

• intersecting lines

Some students want to order shirts with their school logo. One company charges $9.65 per shirt plus a setup fee of $43. Another company charges $8.40 per shirt plus a $58 fee. Which equation represents the number of shirts when both companies charge the same amount?

• y = 9.65 + x
  y = 8.40 + x

• y = 9.65x + 43
  y = 8.40x + 58

• y =9.65x
  y = 8.40x

• y = 9.65x - 43
  y = 8.40x - 58

Solve for x and y
y = 2x + 1
y = 4x - 1

• (1,3)

• (-1,-3)

• (-1,3)

• (3,1)

y = 4 - x

• (3,1)

• (1,3)

• (-3,1)

• (3,-1)
