1 3-2 Solving Linear Systems Algebraically day 2 Objective: CA 2.0: Students solve system of linear equations in two variables algebraically.

2 Example 5: Using a Linear System to Model A caterer is planning a party for 64 people. The customer has $150 to spend. A $39 pan of pasta feeds 14 people and a $12 sandwich tray feeds 6 people. How many pans of pasta and how many sandwich trays should the caterer make?

3 Labels People per pan= 14 Pans of pasta= P People per tray= 6 Trays of sandwiches= S People at the party= 64 Price per pan of pasta= 39 Pans of Pasta= P

4 Labels: Price per sandwich tray= 12 Sandwich trays= S Money to spend on food= 150

5 Linear Combination Method

6 Substitute the value P into one of the original equations 14p + 6s = 64 14(2) + 6s = 64 28 + 6s = 64 6s = 36 s = 6 The caterer should make 2 pans of pasta and 6 sandwich trays.

7 Home work page 152 33 –51 odd, 54 – 58 even, 67 – 81 odd
