For 1 and 2, you plot both lines, and wherever they intersect is the solution to the system. Given the equation of a line, I think the easiest way to plot it is to find two points on the line, then draw a line through them. For example, if , then when
, you get
; when
, you get
. So plot the points (0, -1) and (1, 4), then strike a line through.
1. Notice that dividing both sides of by 2 returns
, same as the first equation. So the system of equations reduces to one equation, which can have an infinite number of solutions. (This is because for any choice of
or
, you can always find a corresponding value for the other variable.)
2. See attached image. is given by the purple line.
For 3-6, you have several options. The two simplest methods of solving them are by substitution or elimination.
3. Like with (1), notice that dividing both sides of the first equation by 2 gives , so there will be an infinite number of solutions.
4. (by substitution) Since , we can replace
in the second equation:
but this is false, so there are no solutions to this system.
5. (by substitution) Since , in the first equation we have
Then back in the second equation we find
So (-4, -3) is the only solution here.
6. (by substitution) Notice that the left hand sides of both equations are the same, so we end up with 7 = 12, but this is false, so no solution exists.

A: 45x + 30y = 1350
Since we don’t know how many adults and children are in the group, we use x and y
b: x-intercept= 30 y-intercept=45
To find the x-intercept you need to isolate the variable. 45x/45 = x
Then you do the same thing to the other side. 1350/45 = 30
So x=30
Same thing with the y-intercept.
30y/30 = y 1350/30 = 45
y=45 (Not really sure what it means by “what they represent” but I thinks it’s that there are 30 adult tickets and 45 children tickets )
c: so our points are (30,0) and (0,45) so you would graph that.
To find how many children tickets were bought if there were 20 adult tickets just look at the photo I put. I don’t know how to explain this.
Hope this helps
