(1. Find the point of intersection for eacho fo the following systems of equations.)

3x - 2y = 6

6x = 11 + 4y

(2. When Chana rented a car for 3 ays and drove 150 km, the charge was $124. When she rented the same car for 5 days and drove 400 km, the charge was $240. What was the charg per day and the charge per kilometer?)

  1. 1. There is no point of intersection.


  2. 1.  3x - 2y = 6 -> y = 3/2x - 3

    2.  6x = 11 + 4y -> y = 3/2x - 11/4

    The graphs for these two equations are parallel and do not intersect (same slope, different y-intercept)

    charge per day = d

    charge per km = k

    3d + 150k = 124 -> d + 50k = 41 1/3

    5d + 400k = 240 -> d + 80k = 48 -> d = 48 - 80k

    combine 1 and 2 to solve for k

    48 - 80k + 50k = 41 1/3

    -30k = -20/3

    k = 20/90 = 2/9 = 0.22

    d + 50k = 41 1/3

    d + 50(2/9) = 41 1/3

    d = 41 1/3 - 100/9

    = 30 2/9 = 30.22

    So the daily charge is $30.22 and the charge per KM is $0.22


  3. 1)

    3x - 2y = 6

    6x = 11 + 4y

    3x - 2y = 6

    6x - 4y =11 (dive this by 2)

    3x - 2y = 6

    3x - 2y =11/2

    6=11/2 (false)

    The system doesn't have solutions

    2)

    3d+150km=$124

    5d+400km=$240

    3d=$124-150km

    5d+400km=$240

    d=$41.33-50km

    5d+400km=$240

    Replace d in the second eq=>

    5($41.33-50km)+400km=$240

    $206.67-250km+400km=$240

    150km=$240-$206.67

    150km=$33.34

    km=$0.22(the tax per km)

    d=$41.33-50km

    d=$41.33-50*$0.22

    d=$41.33-$11

    d=30.33 (the tax per day)

  4. The left side of equations (1) and (2) are the same. The second is

    2 times the first. The right side is not. Hence, no solution.

    3x-2y=6

    6x-4y=11


  5. 1.They are parralel.
