Problem 2
Classify the following statements as either true or false. The elimination method works especially well when the coefficients of one variable are opposites of each other.
Problem 3
Classify each of the following statements as either true or false. When solving a system of equations algebraically leads to a false equation, the system has no solution.
Problem 4
Classify each of the following statements as either true or false. When solving a system of two equations algebraically leads to an equation that is always true, the system has an infinite number of solutions.
Problem 5
Solve using the elimination method. If a system has an infinite number of solutions, use set-builder notation to write the solution set. If a system has no solution, state this. \(x-y=6\) \(x+y=12\)
Problem 16
Determine whether the ordered pair is a solution of the given system of equations. Remember to use alphabetical order of variables. $$ \begin{aligned} (4,-2) ; &-3 x-2 y=-8 \\ 8 &=3 x+2 y \end{aligned} $$
Problem 27
Asel's two student loans totaled \(\$ 12,000\). One of her loans was at \(6.5 \%\) simple interest and the other at \(7.2 \%\). After one year, Asel owed \(\$ 811.50\) in interest. What was the amount of each loan?
Problem 36
Two cars leave Salt Lake City, traveling in opposite directions. One car travels at a speed of \(80 \mathrm{km} / \mathrm{h}\) and the other at \(96 \mathrm{km} / \mathrm{h}\). In how many hours will they be \(528 \mathrm{km}\) apart?
Problem 37
Solve using the elimination method. If a system has an infinite number of solutions, use set-builder notation to write the solution set. If a system has no solution, state this. \(\begin{aligned} x+\frac{9}{2} y &=\frac{15}{4} \\ \frac{9}{10} x-y &=\frac{9}{20} \end{aligned}\)
Problem 37
Solve using a system of equations. The sum of two numbers is \(83 .\) One number is 5 more than the other. Find the numbers.
Problem 43
Two angles are supplementary. One angle is \(15^{\circ}\) more than twice the other. Find the measure of each angle.
