Math 11 Solving 2-Variable Systems (Practice) 1. The graph describes two phone plans. A 16 (a) Write the equation for each plan. 14 Plan A_________________ B 12 Cost ($) 10 Plan B_________________ 8 (b) Describe Plan B in words. 6 (c) Describe when Plan A would be the best choice. 4 2 (d) When do the plans cost the same amount? 10 20 30 40 50 60 Time (min) 2. The charges for a one day car rental for two dealers are described by the equations, where c represents cost in dollars and n represents the number of kilometers driven. Dealer A: c = 0.33n + 15 Dealer B: c = 0.25n + 21 (a) Describe each plan. (b) When do both plans cost the same amount? (c) Which plan would you chose if you intended to drive about 90 km? 3. Solve the following using the substitution method: (a) 17 x + 5y = 193 x – 19y = 513 (b) y = 2x – 21 y = 3x – 37 4. Solve the following systems by graphing: (a) y 2x 1 y 4x 1 (b) 4 x 2 y 6 y 2 x 1 (c) 2x 3 y 0 6 x 2 y 14 5. Solve the following using the elimination method: (a) 1.3x + 2.5y = 0.1 4.2x – 6.3y = 14.7 (b) 2x + 9y = -219 3x – 19y = 289 6. Solve using the most convenient method: (a) 14x – 13y = 390 y = 2x – 42 (d) (g) 0.3x 0.2 y 0.2 0.1x 0.4 y 0.3 3 y 15 x 12 y 5x 3 (b) x + y = 7 x – y = -3 (c) 2x + 3y = 11 3x = 3 1 1 x y 3 2 2 (e) 1 1 x y 3 4 2 (f) (h) x 3y 4 2 3x y 2 6 2y x 3 8 y 4 x 12 Solve the following by identifying the variables, writing two equations and solving using either elimination or substitution. 7. A farmer with an unusual specialty raises only turkeys and racehorses. In reply to a questionnaire from the department of agriculture, he indicated that the number of animals on his farm consisted of 1271 heads and 2624 feet. How many horses and how many turkeys does he have? 8. Ariana bought 50 stamps at the post office. Some were 35¢ and the rest were 17¢ stamps. If the total value of the stamps was $10.30, how many 17¢ stamps did she buy? 9. A regular widget is held together with seven bolts and a super widget requires ten bolts. In one day’s production, the widget factory used 2590 bolts to produce 325 widgets. How many of these were super widgets? How many were regular widgets? FYI: In general, widget (pronounced WIJ-it) is a term used to refer to any discrete object, usually of some mechanical nature and relatively small size, when it doesn’t have a name or when you can’t remember it. 10. A rectangle has a perimeter of 32 cm. If 3 cm is taken from the length and added to the width, the rectangle becomes a square. Find the dimensions of the original rectangle. 11. The sum of two integers is 36, and their difference is 4. Find the integers. 12. Find two numbers whose sum is 196 if the larger exceeds the smaller by 8. 13. A paper boy collected $6.55, part in nickels and part in dimes. If the number of nickels was 6 more than one-half the number of dimes, how many nickels were there? 14. On your 16th birthday you receive $1000 to invest for college. You “diversify” by splitting it in two parts and investing in two different stocks, hoping for the best. By your 17th birthday you have earned $110 on it, and the reports indicate that one stock paid 8%, while the other paid 12%. How much was originally placed in each account?
