Focus Question:
What are the advantages and disadvantages of using one equation
rather than two or more equations to represent a situation?

Notes:

1/4

Q1.

Ans.

1.
a. 16*10 = $160
b. 7($2*x)=$14x
c. 11($5+$0.5x)
2. M total = 215+19.5x

Q2.

Ans.

a. 160 + 14x + 55 +5.5x

b. Because when simplified it becomes 215+19.5x
c. That it is a linear equation.
d. M = 215 + 19.5*10
= $410

Q3.

Ans.

The equation is linear because the power of the variable is 1 and it is in the y=mx+b format.

PART B (Feedback)
Q1.

Do you have any other opinion/question about the lesson?

Ans.

No, not really.

PART C (Homework)
Q1.

Ans.

1. The student council is organizing a T-shirt sale to raise money for a local charity. They make the
following estimates of expenses and income:
Expense of $250 for advertising
Income of $12 for each T-shirt
Expense of $4.25 for each T-shirt
Income of $150 from a sponsor
a. Write an equation for the income I for selling n T-shirts.
b. Write an equation for the expenses E for selling n T-shirts.
c. Suppose the student council sells 100 T-shirts. What is their profit?
d. Write an equation for the profit P made for selling n T-shirts.
a.
b.
c.
d.

$12*n = M
$4.25*n = M
675
($12*100+150)-(4.25*100+250)

For questions 25, use the following information: In Variables and Patterns, several students were planning a
bike tour. They estimated the following expenses and incomes.

Q2.

Ans.

Q3.

a. Write an equation for the total expenses E for n bikers.

b. Write an equation for the total income I for n bikers.
c. Write an equation for the profit P for n bikers.
d. Find the profit for 25 bikers.
e. Suppose the profit is $1,055. How many bikers went on the trip?
F. Does the profit equation represent a linear, quadratic, or exponential function, or none of these?
Explain.
a.
b.
c.
d.
e.
f.

E = (30+125)*n+700 = 855n
I = 355n
P = 350n - 155n - 700 = 195n - 700
$4175

It is linear because it is in the y=mx+b format.

Suppose someone donates a van at no charge. Which equation represents the total expenses?
A. E = 125 + 30
B. E = 125n + 30n

D. E = 155 + n

a. C
Suppose students use their own bikes. Which equation represents the total expenses? (Assume they
will rent a van.)
A. E = 125n + 700
B. E = 125 + 700 + n
C. E = 825n
D. E = 350n + 125n + 700
a. A
Suppose students use their own bikes. Which equation represents the profit? (Assume they will rent
a van.)
A. P = 350 (125 + 700 + n)
B. P = 350n 125n + 700
C. P = 350n (125n + 700)
D. P = 350 125n 700
