II. Solve the following problems. 1. 2. 3. 4. Find a number such that 10 less than two-thirds the number is one-fourth the number. The smaller of two numbers is 9 less than the larger and their sum is 37. Find the numbers. 34 The sum of a number and its reciprocal is 15 . Find the number. If the larger of two integers, whose sum is 88, is divided by the smaller, the quotient is 5 and the remainder is 10. What are the two numbers ?
11

5. The sum of the reciprocals of two consecutive even integers is 60 . What are the integers ? 6. Find 2 consecutive odd integers so that the square of the larger exceeds their product by 34.
( Ans. 15 & 17 )

7. Find two consecutive positive integers such that the sum of their squares is 113. 8. Find two consecutive odd integers whose product exceeds three times their sum by 15.

9. The tens digit of a number is 3 less than the units digit. If the number is divided by the sum of the digits, the quotient is 4 and the remainder is 3. What is the original number ? 1

10. The tens digit is 5 more than the unit digit. If the sum of their squares is 53, find the number. 11. Dianne invests P3500, part at 3%, part at 4%. How much does she invest at each rate if she receive in one year interest of P115? ( P2500 at 3% ; P1000 at 4% ) 12. Sonia invests some of his money at 5% and twice as much at 5 %. If his total income is $125, find the amount invested at each rate. ( $781.25 at 5% ; $1562.50 at 5 % ) 13. Judy wants to invest $ 50,000. Part of it is invested in a fund that pays 12.5% and the remainder in one that pays 14%. Find the amount invested at each rate if the annual income from the two is $ 6640. 14. An invested wishes to realize a return of 12% from a total of two investments. If he has P 10,000 invested at 10%, how much additional money should be invested at 16%?
Ans. P 5,000

III. Determine whether the system is consistent and independent, consistent and dependent or inconsistent. 1. 2x + 4y = 8 x + 2y = 4 2. 5x + 2y = 7 3x + 5y = 8 3. x + 2y = 5 3x -15 = -6y 5. 3x + 2y = 6 6x + 4y = 12 7. 2x + 3y = 5 -6x - 9y = -10

4. 3x + 2y = 3 4y x = -7

6. x + y = 6 3x + 3y = -10

8. 4x + 2y = -8 x 2y = 7

IV. Solve each linear system by (a) addition or subtraction (b) by substitution (c) by graphing 1. 2x + y = 2 3x y = -7 2. 5x + 2y = 7 3x + 5y = 8 3. x + 2y = 5 3x + 2y = 11 5. 3x + 2y = 6 6x + 4y = 12 6. x+ y =6 3x + 3y = -10 7. 2x + 3y = 5 -6x - 9y = -15

4. 3x + 2y = 3 4x y = -7

8. 4x + 2y = -8 x 2y = -7

V. Solve each system of equations by addition or subtraction. 1. 4x 3y = -4 3x 2y = -4 4. 3x + 2y + 2z = -1 5x 3y + 4z = -3 2x + y + 2z = -2 5. 3x + 2y 5z = 1 -13 y 24z = 11 x + 5y + 8z = - 5 7. 6. a + 2b c = -7 2a + 3b + 2c = -3 a 2b 2c = 3 2x + 3y + 4z = 4 2x 8z = -1 4x 6y +4z = -1 8.
