Solve by Substitution.
9. y = 22x + 4
-14x + y = 28
10. y = 25x + 4
-11x + y = 32
11. 22x + y = 4
-14x + y = 60
12. -25x + y = 4
-7x + y = 40
Solve each system below by addition or subtraction.
13. x + 2y = 7
3x – 2y = -3
15. 2x + 2y = 24
2x + 3y = 31
14. 3x + 2y = 14
3x – 3y = -6
16. x + 2y = 5
3x – 2y = 7
17. Consider the system x + 2y = 10 and 2x + 4y = 10. Will this system have one solution, no solutions or
infinitely many solutions? Explain how you know, including calculations or diagrams to illustrate your
explanation.
18. Consider the system y = 3x + 4 and -12x + 4y = 16. Will this system have one solution, no solutions or
infinitely many solutions? Explain how you know, including calculations or diagrams to illustrate your
explanation.
19. Consider the system 3x + 4y = 12 and 2x + 4y = 8. Will this system have one solution, no solutions or
infinitely many solutions? Explain how you know, including calculations or diagrams to illustrate your
explanation.
20. Farmer Fred has a combination of 22 pigs and chickens, and no other animals. Pigs, of course, have 4 legs
and chickens have two legs. Somehow the pigs and chickens have gotten into the same pen and all Farmer
Fred can see are 62 legs. Help Farmer Fred sort out his animals. How many chickens does he have and
how many pigs? Explain or show your work. You can solve this problem by any method you like but no
points will be earned for guess and check.
21. The state fair is a popular field trip destination. This year the senior class at High School A and the senior
class at High School B both planned trips there. The senior class at High School A rented and filled 8 vans
and 8 buses with 240 students. High School B rented and filled 4 vans and 1 bus with 54 students. Every
van had the same number of students in it as did the buses. Find the number of students in each van and in
each bus. Explain or show your work. You can solve this problem by any method you like but no points
will be earned for guess and check.
