Here are some hints for problem #7. let x = number of round tables y = number rectangular tables The problem states that “you can afford 5 tables”… sox + y = 5 The problem also states that “each round table can seat 8 people” and “each rectangular table can seat 12 people”… so8x + 12y = ? This must be equal to the total number of people Now, solve the system.
14
Here are some hints for problem #8. let b = number of baseball cards f = number of football cards The problem states that your uncle gives you a total of 360 cards, so... b + f = ? Now, solve the system. This must be equal to the total number of cards The problem also states that there are “30 more baseball cards than twice the number of football cards”… So … b = 2f + 30
15
Here is a hint for problem #10. let x = number of single rooms y = number of double rooms The total number of rooms is 260. Write an equation for this. The total cost for the single rooms is 35x The total cost for the double rooms is 60y These two should add up to the sales for the night. Write the second equation and solve the system.
