1. Write equations for this problem. The sum of two numbers is 7. If one number is subtracted from  twice the other, the result is -1
a   

x + y = -1
2x - y = 7


x + y = 7
2x - y = -1


x + y = 7
2x + y = -1

d  nota
2. In the previous problem, the solution for x is
a  1
b  2
c  3
d  nota
3. The cost and revenue functions for producing and selling x units of  a CD are given by 
C(x) = 15,000 + 12x and R(x) = 32x, respectively.   What is x in order to break even? 
a 7,500 
b 75
c 750
d nota 
3.3
4. 

Is ( 2,-1,3) a solution to this system?

x + y + z = 4
x - 2y - z = 1
2x - y - z = -1
a   yes 
b  no
c  nota
3.3
5. 

For the system:

x - y + z = 4    (A)
x + 2y - z = -1 (B)
x + y - 3z = -2 (C)

If you want to eliminate x, then you should 

a Add (B) and  (A) and subtract (C) from (A)
b Subtract (B) from (A) and subtract (C) from (A)
c Subtract (B) from (A) and add  (C) and  (A)
d  nota
