Cut-outs for Candy!

Four types of problems:A: Naked problems that are

already in y=mx+b form. (6)

B: Naked problems that need to be put in y=mx+b form. (4)

C: Word problems that are already in y=mx+b form. (4)

D: Word problems that are not already in y=mx+b form. (3)

Rules:1. Must complete at least

one problem from each letter before moving on to the next letter.

2. Complete one cut-out, get one piece of candy.

3. Try to do as many as possible.

4. Work on the type of problem you need practice with.

A1. Find the solution to the system of equations using a table or a graph:

y = x – 5 y = (-1/6)x + 2

y = x – 5 y = (-1/6)x + 2

x y x y

A2. Find the solution to the system of equations using a table or a graph:

y = (-3/4)x + 1 y = (-5/8)x + (1/2)

y = (-3/4)x + 1 y = (-5/8)x + (1/2)

x y x y

A3. Find the solution to the system of equations using a table or a graph:

y = ½ xy = (-2/3)x – 7

y = ½ x y = (-2/3)x – 7

x y x y

A4. Find the solution to the system of equations using a table or a graph:
