Homework 8: Solving Systems by Elimination (Alg1.2.14)
Problem 1
Solve each system of equations.
Problem 2
Elena and Kiran are playing a board game. After one round, Elena says, "You earned so many more points than I did. If you earned 5 more points, your score would be twice mine!"
Kiran says, "Oh, I don't think I did that much better. I only scored 9 points higher than you did." Write a system of equations to represent each student's comment. Be sure to specify what your variables represent.
If both students were correct, how many points did each student score?
