Find the speed of the plane “x “ in no wind, and “y” the speed of the wind PLANE / BOAT problems Speed of the wind Speed of plane in no wind… Substitute to find “y”

  13. LINEAR SYSTEMS – Word Problems There are 3 types of problems we will look at : 1. Plane / Boat problems 2. Money problems 3. Number problems MONEY problems Count Equation how many items were sold ? Money Equation what are the prices of the items AND how much $$$ was collected ?

  14. LINEAR SYSTEMS – Word Problems EXAMPLE : The boy scouts sold chips for $0.50 and pretzels for $0.75 at a recent camping outing. If they collected $94.50 and sold 154 items, how many bags of chips ( x ) and pretzels ( y ) were sold ? MONEY problems Count Equation how many items were sold ? Money Equation what are the prices of the items AND how much $$$ was collected ?

  24. LINEAR SYSTEMS – Word Problems There are 3 types of problems we will look at : 1. Plane / Boat problems 2. Money problems 3. Number problems When working on number problems look for key words such as sum, total, difference, twice, even / odd , etc. to create your equations. Then use either the substitution method or addition method to find your answers.
