Solving Systems of Equations
Solve each system of equations by graphing.
1. x – 2y = 0 2. x + 2y = 4 3. 2x + y = 3
1 9
y = 2x – 3 (2, 1) 2x – 3y = 1 (2, 1) y = 2x – 2 (3, –3)
4. y – x = 3 5. 2x – y = 6 6. 5x – y = 4
y=1 (–2, 1) x + 2y = –2 (2, –2) –2x + 6y = 4 (1, 1)
16. SPORTS Last year the volleyball team paid $5 per pair for socks and $17 per pair for shorts on a total purchase of
$315. This year they spent $342 to buy the same number of pairs of socks and shorts because the socks now cost $6 a
pair and the shorts cost $18.
a. Write a system of two equations that represents the number of pairs of socks and shorts bought each year.
5x + 17y = 315, 6x + 18y = 342
b. How many pairs of socks and shorts did the team buy each year? socks: 12, shorts: 15
