2x - 5y = 12
y = -2

a)

y = -2

b)

(11, -2)

c)

(1, -2)

d)

no solution

3.

7x - y = -10
-7x + 5y = -6

a)

(-2, -4)

b)

(-2, -1)

c)

(-4, -1)

4.

The cost of 5 squash and 2 zucchini is $1.32. Three squash and 1 zucchini cost $0.75. Write a system of equations.

a)

5q + 2z = 1.32
1z = 0.75

b)

5q + 2z = 1.32
3q + 1z = 0.75

c)

q + z = 1.32
q + z = 0.75

d)

5q + 2z = 0.75
3q + 1z = 1.32

5.

The solution (x, y) to a system of equations is the point where they...? 

a)

Run off the graph

b)

Don't touch

c)

Intersect

d)

Exist

6.

Solve this system of equations by graphing.

y = 4x - 2

y = -x + 3

a)

(-2,-1)

b)

(-1,-2)

c)

(1,2)

d)

(2,1)

7.

Which variable should you isolate first in the system?

a)

The x in the first equation

b)

The y in the first equation

c)

The y in the second equation

d)

The x in the second equation

8.

What is the correct first step in solving this system by substitution?

a)

-7(2y+11) - 2y = -13

b)

-7x -2(2y +11) = -13

c)

2y+11-2y = -13

9.

Solve the system by substitution

3x - y = 4

x + 2y = 6

a)

(-2, 2)

b)

(2, -2)

c)

(2, 2)

d)

(-2, -2)

10.

What is the best method do you use?


x = 6y − 11

−2x − 3y = −7

a)

Graphing, because they are both in slope-intercept form

b)

Substitution because a variable is isolated (solved for)

11.

The first step in solving using the substitution method is __________.

a)

get x by itself

b)

get y by itself

c)

get either variable by itself

d)

add the equations together

12.

What is the best method to use?

y = −3x + 5

y = x -1

a)

Graphing, because they are both in slope-intercept form

b)

Substitution because a variable is isolated (solved for)
