CRCT

The math CRCT is only one and half weeks away! You will find several worksheets to the right that have problems and answers. You can use these to practice.

March 31st - April 1st Homework for Math 7/8

Why did the ghost decide to haunt city hall?  (TOC #6) - solve each system of equations using the substitution method.

  1. y = 2x

x + y = 12

  1. x = 3y – 1

x + 2y = 9

  1. y = 2x – 5

4x – y = 7

  1. 2x – 3y = 12

x = 4y + 1

  1. y = -x + 5

x – 4y = 10

  1. x – y = 2

4x – 3y = 11

 

  1. -2x + 3y = 14

x + 2y = 7

  1. 6x – y = -4

2x + 2y = 15

  1. x + y = 1

2x – y = -2

  1. 5x – 3y = -11

x – 2y = 2

  1. x – y = 3

6x + 4y = 13

  1. 2x – y = 16

-x + 2y = -8
