Equations
LT 0D: I can create and solve systems of equations
and inequalities using the most efficient algebraic
method.
ACEM IBE
Food and clothing are shipped to survivors of a natural
disaster. Each carton of food will feed 12 people, while
each carton of clothing will help 5 people. Each 20-cubicfoot box of food weighs 50 pounds and each 10-cubic-foot
box of clothing weighs 20 pounds. The commercial carriers
transporting food and clothing are bound by the following
constraints:
The total weight cannot exceed 19,000 pounds.
The total volume must be no more than 8000 cubic feet.
How many cartons of food and clothing should be sent
with each plane shipment to maximize the number of
people who can be helped?
I. Parallel, Perpendicular, or
Neither?
A. Parallel lines are lines that have the same slope.
I. Parallel, Perpendicular, or
Neither?
B. Perpendicular lines intersect to form right angles.
Lines that are perpendicular have opposite reciprocal
slopes.

V. Inequalities
Goal: To graph a system of inequalities.
Steps used:
1. Graph your first line. If it is contains an equal to
the line will be solid. If it does not, it will be dashed.
2. To shade, plug in a point not on the line. If the
equation is true, shade the side containing the
point. If it is not true, shade the opposite side.
3. Repeat steps 1 & 2 for the second line.

o = 4 + 6; 5 = 21
o Did you check your answer? (How do you check your answer?)
Questions to consider:
o How many equations in this system need to be written in an equivalent form in order to
solve?
o How did you create equivalent equations that allowed you to eliminate a variable?
o When you found the sum of your equivalent equations, how many variables remained?
o
Did you solve the equation remembering like terms and inverse operations?
o Did you remember to evaluate to find the value of the second variable?
o Did you check your answer? (How do you check your answer?)
