1. What is the solution to the system of equations?
y = 5x - 7

-3x - 2y = -12

A. (2, 3)
B. (1, -2)
C. (-2, 9)
D. (3, 8)

What is the solution to the systems of equations represented by the 2 equations?
y = 4x + 3

y = -x - 2

A. (1, 7)
B. (-1, -1)
C. (2, -4)
D. (-3, -9)


A family went to an amusement park and paid $12 for each adult and $8 for each child. A group of 15 people went to the park and it cost $140. This system of equations models this situation, where x is the number of adults and y is the number of children.
How many children were in the group?

x + y = 15
12x + 8y = 140

Sagot :

y=5x-7    -3x-2y=-12  (2,3)

y=4x+3   y=-x-2     (-1,-1)

12x+8y=140    5 adults 10 children
12(5)+8(10)=140
60+80=140

Answer: 1) A. (2, 3)

              2) B. (-1, -1)

              3) 10 children

Step-by-step explanation:

1) [tex]\left \{ {{y=5x-7} \atop {-3x-2y=-12}} \right.[/tex]

Since the y is already isolated in the first equation, to solve the system you simply substitute that expression into the second equation and then solve, finding the value of x:

[tex]-3x-2(5x-7)=-12\\-3x-10x+14=-12\\-13x=-12-14\\-13x=-26\\x=\frac{26}{13}=2[/tex]

And then you substitute that value into the first equation and solve to find the value of y:

[tex]y=5(2)-7\\y=10-7\\y=3[/tex]

So, the solution of the system is (2, 3).

2) [tex]\left \{ {{y=4x+3} \atop {y=-x-2}} \right.[/tex]

Since the y is already isolated in both equations, to solve the system you simply equalize the first and the second expression and then solve, finding the value of x:

[tex]4x+3=-x-2\\4x+x=-2-3\\5x=-5\\x=-1[/tex]

And then you substitute that value into the first or the second equation (whichever you like) and solve to find the value of y:

[tex]y=-(-1)-2\\y=1-2\\y=-1[/tex]

So, the solution of the system is (-1, -1).

3) [tex]\left \{ {{x+y=15} \atop {12x+8y=140}} \right.[/tex]

To solve the system, the easiest way is to isolate the y in the first equation and then substitute the expression obtained into the second equation, finding the value of x.

From the first equation: [tex]y=15-x[/tex]

Substituting:

[tex]12x+8(15-x)=140\\12x+120-8x=140\\4x=140-120\\4x=20\\x=5[/tex]

And then you substitute that value into the first equation and find the value of y:

[tex]y=15-5\\y=10[/tex]

So, there were 10 children in the group.
