A Mississippi river boat cruise sailed miles upstream for hours and then took hours to return to the dock.
Find the speed of the river boat in still water and the speed of the river current.
Without graphing, determine the number of solutions and then classify the system of equations.
Solve the system by graphing:
Geraldine has been offered positions by two insurance companies. The first company pays a salary of \(12,000 plus
a commission of \)100 for each policy sold. The second pays a salary of \(20,000 plus a commission of \)50 for each
policy sold. How many policies would need to be sold to make the total pay the same?
