Part I: Graphing Systems of Linear Equations in Slope-Intercept Form
1. ASU Prep is holding a fundraising contest to see which sports team can sell the most
boxes of chocolate bars. The football team has already sold 6 boxes of chocolate, and
the soccer team has sold 3 boxes. Alex and Javier predict that the football team will
continue to sell 1 box per day, and Niki and Natalie think the soccer team will sell 2
boxes per day.
Let x = days and y = boxes of chocolate
The system is modeled by the equations:
y=x+6
y = 2x + 3
Graph the system and identify the solution. If these predictions are right, how many days
will it take for the teams to reach a fundraising tie?

Example B
Flash forward to Senior year! Youre studying for the SAT, and you decide to take a
practice test. There are 50 questions on the test. You dont skip any. Every correct
answer earns you 3 points, but every incorrect answers earns you -1 point. You end up
with a score of 58 (out of a maximum 150 points).
Solve the system of equations above that represents the scenario, in order to
determine how many problems you got correct and how many you got
incorrect.

Example C
For some reason, Ezra decides to make a lot of Koolaid. It takes him 16 cups of Koolaid
to fills 1 large pitcher and 2 small pitchers. He then fills 5 small pitchers, and subtracts
1 large pitcher from that amount, and ends up with 5 cups of Koolaid.
Set up a system of equations that represents this scenario.
Then use elimination to determine how many cups of Koolaid fill 1 small
pitcher, and how many cups of Koolaid fill 1 large pitcher.

4 THINK: ALL THE __________ ARE
EQUIVALENT (the same)
Therefore, I can s______________ in

variable in that equation
6 Solve for the variable in that equation
7 Plug back into _______ equation, and
solve for the ______ ____________.
