Setting Up Systems of Linear Equations

This video tutorial focuses on setting up systems of linear equations from a word problem involving coffee bean purchases. The problem involves determining the quantities of dark and light roast beans Lauren should buy, given cost constraints and total weight requirements. The video guides viewers through formulating two equations based on these constraints, emphasizing understanding the setup process rather than solving the equations.

What is the main focus of the video tutorial?

• Solving systems of linear equations

• Setting up systems of linear equations

• Learning about coffee beans

• Calculating costs of products

How many kilograms of beans does Lauren need in total?

• 80 kilograms

• 100 kilograms

• 50 kilograms

• 60 kilograms

What is the cost per kilogram of dark roast beans?

• $4

• $3

• $2

• $5

Which equation represents the total kilograms of beans needed?

• d + l = 90

• d + l = 60

• d + l = 80

• d + l = 100

What are the variables used in the equations?

• a and b

• d and l

• x and y

• p and q

What is the cost per kilogram of light roast beans?

• $4

• $1

• $2

• $3

Which equation represents the total cost Lauren wants to spend?

• 3d + 2l = 240

• 3d + 2l = 260

• 3d + 2l = 220

• 3d + 2l = 200

What is the total amount Lauren wants to spend on beans?

• $240

• $180

• $200

• $220

What is the purpose of setting up these equations?
