Summative Assessment
Target 1: I can simplify a linear equation by using the distributive property and/or combining like terms. (R)
Target 2: I can explain how the point(s) of intersection of two graphs will represent the solution to the system
of two linear equations because that/those point(s) are solutions to both equations. (R)
Target 3: I can use the graphs of two linear equations to estimate the solution of the system. (S)
Target 4: I can use algebraic reasoning (simple substitution) and the properties of real numbers to solve a
system of linear equations. (S)
7. Solve the following system of equations by using SUBSTITUTION. Show all work.
2x – 3y = -1 y=x-1
8. Solve the following system of equations by using SUBSTITUTION. Show all work.
-5x + y = -3 3x – 8y = 24
Target 5: I can use mathematical reasoning to solve simple systems of equations. (S)
9. Solve the following system of equations using any method you want. Show all work. (You will only need
a graph if you choose to solve by graphing.
10. Solve the following system of equations using any method you want. Show all work. (You will only need
a graph if you choose to solve by graphing.
Target 6: I can solve real-world problems and mathematical problems dealing with systems of linear
equations and interpret the solution in the context of the problem. (S)
Directions: Write a system of equations for the following word problem and then solve using the method of your
choice. (You will only need graph if you choose to use graphing as your method to solve the system.)
11. A jar contains 15 coins consisting of nickels and dimes. The total value of the coins is $1.00.
Write a system of equations that can be solved to determine the number of nickels, n, and the
number of dimes, d, in the jar. Then solve.
12. A class of 195 students went on a field trip. They took 7 vehicles, some cars and some buses.
Find the number of cars and the number of buses they took if the cars will hold 5 students and
each bus holds 45 students. (You only need a graph if you use graphing to solve the system.)
13. Brenda’s school is selling tickets to a spring musical. On the first day of ticket sales the
school sold 3 senior citizen tickets and 9 child tickets for a total of $75. The school took
in $67 on the second day by selling 8 senior citizens and 5 child tickets. What is the price
of a senior citizen and child ticket? (You only need a graph if you use graphing to solve the
system.)
