Read each question carefully and solve the systems of equations using the equal values method. Show all your work.
1. Solve the following system of equations using the equal values method:
y = 2x + 1
y = 3x - 2
2. Solve the following system of equations:
x = 4y - 5
x = -y + 10
3. When using the equal values method, you set the expressions equal to each other.
4. The goal of the equal values method is to find the point of of the two lines.
5. Which of the following systems is best suited for the equal values method?
x + y = 5 x - y = 1
y = 2x + 3 y = -x + 6
2x + y = 7 3x + 2y = 12
All of the above
6. A store sells two types of coffee. Type A costs $8 per pound, and Type B costs $12 per pound. If a customer buys a total of 10 pounds of coffee for $96, how many pounds of each type did they buy? Set up a system of equations and solve using the equal values method.
