SAT Systems Of Linear Equations Practice Questions (Free + Explanations) | Quiz 3

Question 12345 of 5

Question 1 of 5

The graphs of the lines and intersect at the point . What is the value of ?

Explanation

At the intersection of the two lines, both equations have the same -value. Since one line is , substitute for in :

Subtract from both sides:

Then divide by :

So the value of is .

Concept summary

To find where two lines intersect, set their -values equal and solve for the unknown coordinate.

Question 2 of 5

The values of and satisfy the system

What is the value of ?

Explanation

Since and , substitute for in the first equation: . Then subtract from both sides to get .

Concept summary

In a system where one variable is already known, substitute that value into the other equation to find the remaining variable.

Question 3 of 5

A theater sells only student tickets and adult tickets for a school fundraiser. The table shows two different combinations of tickets sold that brought in the same total amount of money.

If a student ticket costs dollars and an adult ticket costs dollars, and one equation in the system is

what is the value of

Explanation

The table says that selling student tickets and adult tickets brings in the same total amount as selling student tickets and adult tickets. Since one equation is

the total for the first combination is . Therefore, the other combination must also total , so

Concept summary

When two rows in a table represent combinations with the same total, equivalent expressions for those combinations must have the same value.

Question 4 of 5

A system of equations has solution . Which statement must be true?

Explanation

A solution to a system is an ordered pair that makes each equation in the system true. Since is a solution, substituting and must satisfy both equations.

Concept summary

For a system of linear equations, a solution is a point that satisfies every equation in the system.

Question 5 of 5

At a parking lot, cars and motorcycles are parked in a row. There are vehicles total and wheels total. If is the number of cars and is the number of motorcycles, which system of equations could be used to find and ?

Explanation

The total number of vehicles is the number of cars plus the number of motorcycles, so . Each car has wheels and each motorcycle has wheels, so the total number of wheels is . Therefore, the correct system is and .

Concept summary

To model a system from a real-world situation, write one equation for the total number of objects and another for the total value or measurement contributed by each type.
