2. The pie chart below shows how the average family spends
their money while on vacation.

$3000 while on
vacation, how much
was spent on gas?
What simplified fraction of the cost is spent on food and
entertainment?

5. For her birthday,Mark bought his mom 12 flowers, a
mixture of roses and daisies. The roses cost $1.15 each
and the daisies cost $1.35 each. If he spent $16.00, how
many daisies did he buy?

7. Solving 3x3 Systems:(1)
The graph of the solution set of an equation in three
variables is a plane, not a line. In fact, graphing equations in
three variables requires the use of a three-dimensional
coordinate system. It is therefore, not practical to solve
3x3 systems by graphing
Solve the System: 4x + 2y - z = -5
3y + z = -1
2z = 10
1. Which is the easiest
variable to solve for?
2. Plug in where and solve
for what?
3. Substitute y and z values into equation 1; solve for x.
4. Substitute all values, check for equality.
5. The solution set is (1, -2, 5)
Solving 3x3 Systems:
8. A sporting goods store is having a sale on soccer equipment. One
coach buys 10 soccer balls and 2 ball bags $155. Another coach
buys 12 soccer balls and 3 ball bags for $189.
What is the cost of each item?
Write the equations and determine the best method for solving.
Last warm-Up Question
Write the equations and determine the best method for solving.

10. Many systems questions ask you to compare the costs of two
different businesses like fitness clubs, car rentals, home repair,
and then determine after how many months, miles, or hours, the
costs will be the same.
This question is asking after how many months will the cost be
the same for both companies. Even though these are not solved
by graphing, we still must determine the independent and
dependent variables. The cost depends on the number of months
used. The cost for Interwebs is.....
What is the slope-intercept form of both equations?
11. After writing the two
equations, what method
is best for solving?
y - 21.95x = 10
y - 22.45x = 0
1. Use elimination to solve for 'x', which is the number of
months until the costs are equal.
.5x = 10 x = 20
If you're only going to use an internet service for one year,
which company would you choose?
What is the cost for both companies after 20 months?
2. Use substitution to solve for 'x', which is the number of
months until the costs are equal.
12. What are the independent and dependent variables?
Write the two equations and solve
Write costs for both companies in slope intercept form.
Rearrange into standard form.
