Section 5.10: Chapter Assessment
Test your understanding of all Chapter 5 topics: solving systems by substitution, elimination, graphing, three-variable systems, and real-life applications.
Assessment Questions
- Solve by substitution: \( x + y = 10 \), \( 2x - y = 3 \)
- Solve by elimination: \( 3x + 2y = 12 \), \( 5x - y = 8 \)
- Solve by graphing: \( y = x + 2 \), \( y = -2x + 4 \)
- Word problem: A store sold 100 items. Shirts $10, pants $15. Total $1,250. Find number of shirts and pants sold.
- Solve 3-variable system: \( x + y + z = 12 \), \( 2x - y + z = 7 \), \( x + 2y - z = 8 \)
- Special case: Determine if \( 2x + 4y = 10 \), \( x + 2y = 5 \) has one solution, none, or infinite solutions.
- Mixed practice: \( x - y = 4 \), \( 3x + y = 11 \)
- Word problem: Two numbers sum to 45. One is twice the other. Find numbers.
- Solve 3-variable: \( 3x + y - z = 6 \), \( x - y + 2z = 4 \), \( 2x + y + z = 8 \)
- Graphing practice: \( y = -\frac{1}{2}x + 3 \), \( y = x - 1 \)
