Answer:
Yes,

Explanation:
Solving the system of equations: a + c = 12 and 55a  + 42c = 569 as c = 12 – a,
substituting in 55a + 42c = 569 as 55a + 42(12 – a) = 569, 55a + 504 – 42a = 569,
13a + 504 = 569, 13a = 569 – 504, 13a = 65, a = 65/13 = 5, substituting a = 5 in c = 12 – a,
we get c = 12 – 5 = 7.

Substitute the resulting expression for y into the second equation and solve for x.

Answer:

Explanation:
These two equations comprise the system of equations that represent the problem. Begin solving the system of equations by first solving one equation for y.
x + y = 12 → y = 12 – x, Substituting the resulting expression for y into the second equation and solving for x as 6x + 4(12 – x) = 57, 6x + 48 – 4x = 57, 2x = 57 – 48, 2x = 9, x = 9/2.

D. Does the value for x make sense for this problem? Why or why not?
Answer:
Yes,

Explanation:
Yes, the value of x = 9/2 make sense for this problem as y = 12 – x, we have y = 12 – 9/2 = 24 – 9/2 = 15/2, now checking x and y so we get 9/2 + 15/2 = (9 + 15)/2 = 24/2 = 12 which is same as x + y = 12.

E. Round the value for x up to the nearest whole number, and use that value to solve for y.

Explanation:
Rounding the value for x up to the nearest whole number and using that value to solve for y as x= 4.5 to 4, 4 + y = 12, y = 8, She should order 4 tables that seat 6 people and 8 tables that seat 4 people.

F. Substitute x and y into the second equation. If Kailee orders these tables, will she have enough seats for all attendees? Explain.
7() + 5() =
Answer:
7 X 4 + 5 X 8 = 68, Yes, she will have enough seats for all attendees,

Explanation:
Substituting x = 4 and y = 8 into the second equation 7 X 4 + 5 X 8 = 28 + 40 = 68 therefore if Kailee orders these tables, she will have enough seats for all attendees.

Turn and Talk If a value doesn’t make sense for the solution to a problem, do you always round the value up? Explain.
Answer:
Yes,

Explanation:
Yes, if a value doesn’t make sense for the solution to a problem, I do always round the value up because the final answer should always be rounded to reflect the number of significant digits in the result and normally I would not want to round before that if I can help it. If I am using a computer or calculator I should avoid using numbers that have been rounded as much as possible. Even if I round my final answer, I should store the “exact” value for future computations.

Question 1.
The Spartan basketball team scored 108 points in last night’s game. They scored 48 baskets in all, making a combination of two-point and three-point baskets. There were no points due to free throws. How many three-point baskets did the Spartans make?
Answer:
System of equations are x + y = 48 and 2x + 3y = 108,
Three-point baskets did the Spartans make are 12,

Explanation:
Given the Spartan basketball team scored 108 points in last night’s game. They scored 48 baskets in all, making a combination of two-point and three-point baskets.
There were no points due to free throws, the system of equations are x + y = 48 equation (1) and 2x + 3y = 108 equation(2), Solving eqaution (1) x= 48 – y, Substituting x in equation(2) we get 2(48 – x) + 3 y = 108, 96 – 2x + 3y = 108, y + 96 = 108, y = 108 – 96, y = 12, Now x = 48 – 12 = 36, therefore three-point baskets did the Spartans make are 12.

Question 2.
Mr. Chen buys 5 tomato plants and 3 cucumber plants for $33.00. His neighbor buys 4 tomato plants and 2 cucumber plants of the same varieties for $24.90 at the same nursery. What is the cost of each type of plant?

Answer:
System of equations are 5t + 3c = 33, 4t + 2c = 24.90, Cost of tomato plant is $4.35 and
cost of cucumber plant is $3.75,

Explanation:
Given Mr. Chen buys 5 tomato plants and 3 cucumber plants for $33.00. His neighbor buys
4 tomato plants and 2 cucumber plants of the same varieties for $24.90 at the same nursery.
Let tomato plant be t and cucumber plant be c, the system of equations are 5t + 3c = 33 equation(1)
4t + 2c = 24.90 equation(2), Multiplying equation 1 by 2 and equation 2 by 3 and
subtracting equation (2) from (1) we get
12t + 6c = 74.7
-10t – 6c = 66.0
2t = 8.7, so t = 8.7/2 = 4.35 now substituting t in equation 1 we get 5 X 4.35 + 3c = 33,
21.75 + 3c = 33, 3c = 33 – 21.75 = 11.25, c = 11.25/3 = 3.75, therefore cost of tomato plant is $4.35 and cost of cucumber plant is $3.75.

Explanation:
Given a builder is developing a neighborhood of one-bedroom and two-bedroom houses.
The builder wants to build 12 houses and has 88 windows. The one-bedroom houses need
6 windows and the two-bedroom houses need 9 windows.
Let o be one-bedroom houses and t be two-bedroom houses, System of equations are o +  t = 12,
6o + 9t = 88.

B. How many of each type of house should the builder build?
Answer:
One-bedroom houses – 20/3, Two-bedroom houses – 16/3,

Explanation :
To find each type of house should the builder build are solving o +  t = 12,
6o + 9t = 88, t = 12 – o, substituting as 6o + 9(12 – o) = 88, 6o + 108 – 9o = 88,
108 – 88 = 3o, 20 = 3o, o = 20/3, So t = 12 – 20/3 = 36 -20/3 = 16/3,
therefore each type of house should the builder build are:
One-bedroom houses – 20/3 and two-bedroom houses – 16/3.

Question 2.
Math on the Spot Doug has 45 coins worth $9.00. The coins are all quarters or dimes. How many of each type of coin does Doug have?
Answer:
Doug has 30 quarters and 15 dimes,

Explanation:
Given Doug has 45 coins worth $9.00. The coins are all quarters or dimes.
Number of each type of coin does Doug have let x = number of quarters, y = number of dimes,
The total number of coins is 45. Therefore, Total number of coins: x + y = 45,
Total amount of the coins is $9. Therefore Total cost of the coins: 0.25x + 0.1y = 9,
Therefore x + y = 45 and 0.25x + 0.1y = 9, solving 0.1x + 0.1y = 4.5, 0.1 y = 4.5 – 0.1x, so substituting
0.25x + 0.1y = 9, 0.25x + (4.5 – 0.1x) = 9, 0.15x = 4.5, x = 4.5 / 0.15, x = 30,
y = 45 – 30 = 15, therefore Doug has 30 quarters and 15 dimes.

27 miles per gallon. In one week the family drove a total of 480 miles and used 16 gallons of gas.
Let one car be x and other car be y so the system of equations are x + y = 16,
35x + 27y = 480, Solving y = 16 – x, 35x + 27(16 – x) = 480, 35x + 432 – 27x = 480,
8x = 480 – 432, 8x = 48, x = 48/8 = 6, therefore number of miles the family drove each car is one car 6 miles and other car 10 miles.

Question 5.
The Greenery landscaping company puts in an order for 2 pine trees and 5 hydrangea bushes for a neighborhood project. The order costs $150. They put in a second order for 3 pine trees and 4 hydrangea bushes that cost $144.50. What is the cost for one pine tree?
$ ____________
Answer:
The cost for one pine tree is $17.5,

Explanation:
Given the greenery landscaping company puts in an order for 2 pine trees and 5 hydrangea
bushes for a neighborhood project. The order costs $150.
They put in a second order for 3 pine trees and 4 hydrangea bushes that cost $144.50.
Let p be oine trees and h be hydrangea bushes, so system of equations are 2p + 5h = 150 and
3p + 4h = 144.50 solving p = (150 -5h)/2, substituting 3(150 – 5h)/2 + 4h = 144.50,
450 – 15h + 8h = 289, 450 – 289 = 7h, 7h = 161, h = 161/7 = 23, now p = 150 – 5 X 23/2 =
p = 150 – 115/2, p = 35/2 or p = 17.5, therefore the cost for one pine tree is $17.5.

Question 6.
Sonia is older than her brother Eddie. The sum of their ages is 38. The difference is 14. How many years old are Sonia and Eddie?
Sonia: years old
Eddie: years old
Answer:
Sonia is 26 years old, Eddie is 12 years old,

Explanation:
Given Sonia is older than her brother Eddie. The sum of their ages is 38.
The difference is 14. Let Sonia be s and Eddie is e, we have s + e = 38 and s – e = 14, solving
s = 38 – e, substituting we get 38 – e – e = 14, 38 – 14 = 2e, 24 = 2e, e = 24/2 = 12,
now s = 38 – 12 = 26, therefore Sonia is 26 years old and Eddie is 12 years old.

Question 7.
The Chenery School sold a total of 78 tickets for the spring concert. Advance tickets sold for $5.00 and tickets purchased the night of the concert cost $10.50. If the total revenue for the night was $533, how many advance tickets were sold?
___________ tickets
Answer:
52 advance tickets were sold,

Explanation:
Given the Chenery School sold a total of 78 tickets for the spring concert. Advance tickets sold for $5.00 and tickets purchased the night of the concert cost $10.50.
The total revenue for the night was $533, Let advance tickets be a and night tickets be n so
a + n = 78, 5a + 10.5n = 533, Solving a = 78 – n,
substituting 5(78 – n) + 10.5n = 533, 390 – 5n + 10.5n = 533,
5.5n = 533 – 390 = 143, n = 143/5.5 = 26, Now a = 78 – 26 = 52, therefore 52 advance tickets were sold.

Check:
5 X 52 + 10.5 X 26 = 260 + 273 = 533 which is true.

Question 8.
Two angles are supplementary. This means that the sum of the two angles is equal to 180°. One of the angles measures 20 degrees more than three times the other angle. What is the measure of the larger angle?
(A) 40°
(B) 120°
(C) 140°
(D) 200°
Answer:
(C) 140°,

Explanation:
Given two angles are supplementary. This means that the sum of the two angles is
equal to 180°. One of the angles measures 20 degrees more than three times the other angle.
Let x be one angle which is smaller angle and y be the other angle which is larger angle as y = 3x + 20° and x + y = 180°, Solving y = 3(180°- y) + 20°, y = 540° – 3y + 20°,
4y = 560°, y = 560°/4 = 140°, so x = 180° – 140° = 40°,
therefore the measure of the larger angle is 140° matches with (C).

Question 9.
Which two triangles are similar? How do you know?

Answer:
Triangles A and C are similar,

Explanation:
Given 3 triangles as we know the sum of angles of right angled triangles is 180° and one angle will be 90°, So triangle A has one angle 90° other angle 66° and another unknown angle is x so x + 90° + 66° = 180°, x = 180° – 156° = 24° which matches with angle of traingle C, therefore triangles A and C are similar.

Question 10.
A line passes through the origin and (4, 6). What are two other points on this line?
Answer:
(2,3) and (2.6,4),

Explanation:
Given a line passes through the origin and (4, 6) the two other points onthis line are we can divide
x and y by 2 we get x = 4/2 = 2 and y = 6/2 = 3, so one point is (2,3) and we divide x and y by 1.5
we get  x = 4/1.5 = 2.666 and y = 6/1.5 = 4 other point is (2.6,4), therefore the two other points on this line are  (2,3) and (2.6,4).

Question 11.
What is an equation of the line with slope -3 through the point (3, 5)?
Answer:
Equation is y = -3x + 14 or 3x + y = 14,

Explanation:
The gradient(slope) y-axis intercept form of a straight line is y = mx +b, where m is the gradient(slope), b is the y-axis intercept we are given a gradient of -3, therefore y = -3x +b,
using the given point (3, 5) to solve for b we have 5 = -3 X 3 + b, b= 5 + 9 = 14, therefore equation is y = -3x + 14 or 3x + y = 14.
