Solving Systems of Equations
Amanda has two fair options at the toy shop.
(1) She can buy one deck of Pok´ e mon cards and one Rubik’s Cube for $20.
(2) Or for $7, she can buy two decks of Pok´ e mon cards but she also has to trade in the
Rubik’s Cube she has at home.
What are the prices of a deck of Pok´ e mon cards and a Rubik’s Cube?
How can you solve this problem?
Notice that we have two unknowns: the price of a deck of Pok´ e mon cards (x) and the price
of a Rubik’s Cube (y). We also have two different options that can be represented by two
different equations:
(1) one deck + one cube = $20. Mathematically, 1x + 1y = 20.
(2) two decks = $7 + one cube. Mathematically, 2x = 7 + 1y or 2x
1y = 7.
The goal in this situation is to find x and y such that both equations are satisfied.
A System of Equations is a set of multiple equations dealing with multiple variables. You
have to work with all of the equations at the same time in order to solve for the variables.
