Real World System of Linear Equations to Determine Cost | 8.EE.C.8

The video tutorial explains how to solve a real-world problem using a system of linear equations. Two friends, Glenn and Jim, purchase a game system and video games, and the task is to determine the cost of one game system. The tutorial walks through setting up equations based on their purchases, solving the system of equations, and finding the cost of the game system and video games. The solution involves using variables to represent unknown costs, subtracting equations to eliminate variables, and solving for the remaining unknowns. The final result reveals the cost of one game system.

What is the total cost of the game system and video games that Jim bought?

What did Glenn buy at the store?

How much did Glenn spend in total?

What variables are used to represent the cost of the game system and video games?

How did the teacher derive the cost of one video game?

What is the final cost of one game system?

Explain the process of solving the system of equations presented in the video.
