1. Lesson 3 – Systems of 2 Variable Equations in Context
To solve money problems using 2 variables
To solve distance-rate-time problems using 2 variables

2. Process
Define your variables. Apply the words into 2 linear equations. Solve for each variable using elimination or substitution.

3. Money Example
For the National Hockey League and National Basketball Association seasons, two hockey tickets and one basketball ticket purchased at their average prices would have cost $ One hockey ticket and two baseball tickets would have cost $ What were the average ticket prices for the two sports?

4. Money Example
At Panera Bread, a loaf of honey wheat bread costs $2.95, a loaf of sunflower bread costs $2.99. On a recent day, three times as many loaves of honey wheat bread were sold as sunflower bread. The total receipts were $ How many of each were sold?

5. Distance = (rate)(time)
A car travels 250 km in the same time that a truck travels 225 km. If the speed of the car is 8 km/hr faster than the speed of the truck, find BOTH speeds.
