Applications Involving Systems of Equations
Example:
1) Find the two numbers for which the sum is 93 and the difference is 9.
2) The perimeter of a rectangle is 160 yd. The width is 4 more than half the length. Find the length and the width.
3) Sunset rents an 18 ft truck for $49.95 plus 75 cents per mile. Cactus rents a 18 ft van for $59.95 plus 50 cents per mile. For what millage is the cost the same?
Ex: System of Equations Application - Coin Problem
This video explains how to solve an application problem using a system of equations.
Examples:
A woman has 21 coins in her pocket, all of which are dimes and quarters. If the total value of her change is $3.90, how many dimes and how many quarters does she have?

Suggested Learning Targets
- Solve systems of equations using graphs.
- Solve systems of equations using the elimination method (sometimes called linear combinations).
- Solve a system of equations by substitution (solving for one variable in the first equation and substitution it into the second equation).
