Solving Systems of Equations Using Multiplication (A-REI.5)
How to solve systems of equations by using multiplication?
Example:
Each family in a neighborhood is contributing $25 worth of food to the neighborhood picnic? The Kennedy family is bringing 15 packages of buns. Hamburger buns cost $2.00 per package. Hot-dog buns cost $1.50 per package. How many packages of each type of bun do they have?
Understanding systems of equations example.
Example:
You are at a Parisian cafe with a friend. A local in front of you buys a cup of coffee and a croissant for 5.30 Euro. When you and your friend get 2 cups of coffee and 2 croissants, you are charged 14 Euro.
Can we solve for the price of a cup of coffee and a croissant using this information in a system of linear equations in two variables? If yes, what is the solution? If no, what is the reason we cannot?
Understanding systems of equations example 2.
You are solving a system of linear equations in two variables. You have found more than one solution that satisfies the system. Which of the following statements are true?
