1 Name Class Date 1.3 Modeling with Linear Sstems Essential Question: How can ou use sstems of linear equations or inequalities to model and solve contetual problems? Resource Locker Eplore Modeling Real-World Constraints with Sstems Real-world situations can often be modeled b sstems of equations. Usuall, information about prices and the total number of items purchased is given, and the sstem is solved to find the number of each item purchased. Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Publishing Compan Image Credits: Dann Clifford/Alam Joe goes to the store to bu jeans and some T-shirts. The jeans cost $ each and the T-shirts cost $ each. If Joe spends $1 on 5 items, how man pairs of jeans and how man T-shirts did he bu? A B C D E F G Write an epression to represent the amount that Joe spent on pairs of jeans. Write an epression to represent the amount that Joe spent on T-shirts. Now write an equation that represents the total amount spent on jeans and T-shirts. Amount spent on jeans + Amount spent on T-shirts = + = What variable represents the number of jeans purchased? What variable represents the number of T-shirts purchased? Total amount spent Write an equation to represent the total number of items purchased. Write the sstem that represents the situation. Reflect = 1 1. What units are associated with the two epressions that ou wrote in steps A and B? = 5. When ou add the units for the epressions representing the amounts spent on jeans and T-shirts, what units do ou get for the total amount spent? Module Lesson 3

2 Eplain 1 Modeling Real-World Constraints with Sstems of Linear Equations You can model real-world constraints, such as the number of items needed and the amount of mone one has to spend, with sstems of linear equations. Eample 1 Write a sstem of equations to represent the situation, and then solve the sstem. A Bobb will bu coffee and hot chocolate for his co-workers. Each cup of coffee costs $.5 and each cup of hot chocolate costs $1.5. If he pas a total of $15.75 for cups, how man of each did he bu? Create a table to organize the information. Coffee Hot Chocolate Total Number of Cups c h Cost $.5c $1.5h $15.75 Use the information to write a sstem of equations..5c + 1.5h = Total amount spent on c cups of coffee and h cups of hot chocolate c + h = Total number of cups bought Multipl the second equation b -.5 to get opposite coefficients for c. -.5(c + h = ) -.5c -.5h = 1 Add the new equation to the first equation..5c + 1.5h = (-.5c -.5h = -1) -.75h = -.5 Solve for h. -.75h = -.5 h = 3 Substitute the value found for h back into one of the original equations and solve for c. c + h = c + 3 = Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Publishing Compan Image Credits: Fotofermer/Shutterstock c = 5 So Bobb bought 5 cups of coffee and 3 cups of hot chocolate. Module 1 55 Lesson 3

3 B A student is buing pens and markers for school. Packs of pens cost $.75 each and packs of markers cost $3.5 each. If she bought a total of packs and spent $17.5, how man of each did she bu? Create a table to organize the information. Pens Markers Total Number of packs p m Cost $17.5 Use the information to write a sstem of equations. + = 17.5 Total amount spent on p packs of pens and m packs of markers p + m = Total number of packs bought Multipl the second equation b to get opposite coefficients for p. (p + m = ) p + m = Add the new equation to the first equation. p + m = p + m = m = Solve for m, the number of markers. m = Substitute the value found for m back into one of the original equations and solve for p. p + m = Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Publishing Compan p + = p = So the student bought packs of pens and packs of markers. Reflect 3. What s another possible wa to solve the problem? Module Lesson 3

4 Your Turn Write a sstem of equations to represent the situation, and then solve the sstem.. A compan has to bu computers and printers. Each computer costs $55 and each printer costs $39. If the compan spends $1 and bus a total of 1 machines, how man of each did it bu? Eplain Modeling Real-World Constraints with Sstems of Linear Inequalities You can use a sstem of linear inequalities and its graph to model man real-world situations. Eample Set up and solve the sstem of linear equalities. A Number of shorts Sue is buing T-shirts and shorts. T-shirts cost $1 and shorts cost $1. She plans on spending no more than $17 and bu at least 5 items. Show and describe all combinations of the number of T-shirts and shorts she could bu. First write the sstem. Let represent the number of T-shirts, and let represent the number of shorts. + 5 She wants to bu at least 5 items She wants to spend no more than $17. Graph the sstem of inequalities: T-shirts and Shorts 5 7 Number of T-shirts The possible solutions are where the shaded regions overlap. So, a possible solution is 5 T-shirts and shorts. Substitute this value into the inequalities to make sure it is a reasonable solution.? ? 1 (5) + 1 () The result is two inequalities that are true, so this is a reasonable answer.

5 B John has to bu two different kinds of rope. Rope A costs $. per foot and Rope B costs $.9 per foot. John needs to bu at least 15 feet of rope, but he wants to spend no more than $1. Show and describe all combinations of the number of feet of each tpe of rope John can bu. First write the sstem. Let represent the amount of Rope A, and let represent the amount of Rope B Graph the sstem. Rope B (ft) Buing Rope Rope A (ft) Describe the solutions to the sstem. The possible solutions are Your Turn Write a sstem of inequalities for the given situation and graph the sstem. Then determine if the point (, ) is a solution to the sstem. 5. A student has to bu graph paper and printer paper. The printer paper costs $ a pack, while the graphing paper costs $3 a pack. She wants to bu at least packs of paper but wants to spend at most $7.

6 . Now assume that she wants to bu at least 7 packs and will spend at most $3. Graphing paper (packs) Buing Paper Printer paper (packs) Elaborate 7. Is it possible for a sstem of two linear inequalities to onl have one solution?. Wh can t a sstem of inequalities be solved using the same methods as solving sstems of equations? 9.
