Solving Systems of Equations Real World Problems

Wow! You have learned many different strategies for solving systems of equations! First we started with Graphing Systems of Equations . Then we moved onto solving systems using the Substitution Method . In our last lesson we used the Linear Combinations or Addition Method to solve systems of equations.

Now we are ready to apply these strategies to solve real world problems! Are you ready? First let's look at some guidelines for solving real world problems and then we'll look at a few examples.

Steps For Solving Real World Problems

  • Highlight the important information in the problem that will help write two equations.
  • Define your variables
  • Write two equations
  • Use one of the methods for solving systems of equations to solve.
  • Check your answers by substituting your ordered pair into the original equations.
  • Answer the questions in the real world problems. Always write your answer in complete sentences!

Ok... let's look at a few examples. Follow along with me. (Having a calculator will make it easier for you to follow along.)

Example 1: Systems Word Problems

You are running a concession stand at a basketball game. You are selling hot dogs and sodas. Each hot dog costs $1.50 and each soda costs $0.50. At the end of the night you made a total of $78.50. You sold a total of 87 hot dogs and sodas combined. You must report the number of hot dogs sold and the number of sodas sold. How many hot dogs were sold and how many sodas were sold?

1.  Let's start by identifying the important information:

  • hot dogs cost $1.50
  • Sodas cost $0.50
  • Made a total of $78.50
  • Sold 87 hot dogs and sodas combined

2.  Define your variables.

  • Ask yourself, "What am I trying to solve for? What don't I know?

In this problem, I don't know how many hot dogs or sodas were sold. So this is what each variable will stand for. (Usually the question at the end will give you this information).

Let x = the number of hot dogs sold

Let y = the number of sodas sold

3. Write two equations.

One equation will be related to the price and one equation will be related to the quantity (or number) of hot dogs and sodas sold.

1.50x + 0.50y = 78.50    (Equation related to cost)

 x + y = 87   (Equation related to the number sold)

4.  Solve! 

We can choose any method that we like to solve the system of equations. I am going to choose the substitution method since I can easily solve the 2nd equation for y.

Solving a systems using substitution

5. Think about what this solution means.

x is the number of hot dogs and x = 35. That means that 35 hot dogs were sold.

y is the number of sodas and y = 52. That means that 52 sodas were sold.

6.  Write your answer in a complete sentence.

35 hot dogs were sold and 52 sodas were sold.

7.  Check your work by substituting.

1.50x + 0.50y = 78.50

1.50(35) + 0.50(52) = 78.50

52.50 + 26 = 78.50

35 + 52 = 87

Since both equations check properly, we know that our answers are correct!

That wasn't too bad, was it? The hardest part is writing the equations. From there you already know the strategies for solving. Think carefully about what's happening in the problem when trying to write the two equations.

Example 2: Another Word Problem

You and a friend go to Tacos Galore for lunch. You order three soft tacos and three burritos and your total bill is $11.25. Your friend's bill is $10.00 for four soft tacos and two burritos. How much do soft tacos cost? How much do burritos cost?

  • 3 soft tacos + 3 burritos cost $11.25
  • 4 soft tacos + 2 burritos cost $10.00

In this problem, I don't know the price of the soft tacos or the price of the burritos.

Let x = the price of 1 soft taco

Let y = the price of 1 burrito

One equation will be related your lunch and one equation will be related to your friend's lunch.

3x + 3y = 11.25  (Equation representing your lunch)

4x + 2y = 10   (Equation representing your friend's lunch)

We can choose any method that we like to solve the system of equations. I am going to choose the combinations method.

Solving Systems Using Combinations

5. Think about what the solution means in context of the problem.

x = the price of 1 soft taco and x = 1.25.

That means that 1 soft tacos costs $1.25.

y = the price of 1 burrito and y = 2.5.

That means that 1 burrito costs $2.50.

Yes, I know that word problems can be intimidating, but this is the whole reason why we are learning these skills. You must be able to apply your knowledge!

Word problems are important applications of linear equations. We start with examples of translating an English sentence or phrase into an algebraic expression.

Example 18.1

Translate the phrase into an algebraic expression:

a) Twice a variable is added to 4

Solution: We call the variable \(x .\) Twice the variable is \(2 x .\) Adding \(2 x\) to 4 gives:

\[4 + 2x\nonumber\]

b) Three times a number is subtracted from 7.

Solution: Three times a number is \(3 x .\) We need to subtract \(3 x\) from 7. This means:\

\[7-3 x\nonumber\]

c) 8 less than a number.

Solution: The number is denoted by \(x .8\) less than \(x\) mean, that we need to subtract 8 from it. We get:

\[x-8\nonumber\]

For example, 8 less than 10 is \(10-8=2\).

d) Subtract \(5 p^{2}-7 p+2\) from \(3 p^{2}+4 p\) and simplify.

Solution: We need to calculate \(3 p^{2}+4 p\) minus \(5 p^{2}-7 p+2:\)

\[\left(3 p^{2}+4 p\right)-\left(5 p^{2}-7 p+2\right)\nonumber\]

Simplifying this expression gives:

\[\left(3 p^{2}+4 p\right)-\left(5 p^{2}-7 p+2\right)=3 p^{2}+4 p-5 p^{2}+7 p-2 =-2 p^{2}+11 p-2\nonumber\]

e) The amount of money given by \(x\) dimes and \(y\) quarters.

Solution: Each dime is worth 10 cents, so that this gives a total of \(10 x\) cents. Each quarter is worth 25 cents, so that this gives a total of \(25 y\) cents. Adding the two amounts gives a total of

\[10 x+25 y \text{ cents or } .10x + .25y \text{ dollars}\nonumber\]

Now we deal with word problems that directly describe an equation involving one variable, which we can then solve.

Example 18.2

Solve the following word problems:

a) Five times an unknown number is equal to 60. Find the number.

Solution: We translate the problem to algebra:

\[5x = 60\nonumber\]

We solve this for \(x\) :

\[x=\frac{60}{5}=12\nonumber\]

b) If 5 is subtracted from twice an unknown number, the difference is \(13 .\) Find the number.

Solution: Translating the problem into an algebraic equation gives:

\[2x − 5 = 13\nonumber\]

We solve this for \(x\). First, add 5 to both sides.

\[2x = 13 + 5, \text{ so that } 2x = 18\nonumber\]

Dividing by 2 gives \(x=\frac{18}{2}=9\).

c) A number subtracted from 9 is equal to 2 times the number. Find the number.

Solution: We translate the problem to algebra.

\[9 − x = 2x\nonumber\]

We solve this as follows. First, add \(x\) :

\[9 = 2x + x \text{ so that } 9 = 3x\nonumber\]

Then the answer is \(x=\frac{9}{3}=3\)

d) Multiply an unknown number by five is equal to adding twelve to the unknown number. Find the number.

Solution: We have the equation:

\[5x = x + 12.\nonumber\]

Subtracting \(x\) gives

\[4x = 12.\nonumber\]

Dividing both sides by 4 gives the answer: \(x=3\).

e) Adding nine to a number gives the same result as subtracting seven from three times the number. Find the number.

Solution: Adding 9 to a number is written as \(x+9,\) while subtracting 7 from three times the number is written as \(3 x-7\). We therefore get the equation:

\[x + 9 = 3x − 7.\nonumber\]

We solve for \(x\) by adding 7 on both sides of the equation:

\[x + 16 = 3x.\nonumber\]

Then we subtract \(x:\)

\[16 = 2x.\nonumber\]

After dividing by \(2,\) we obtain the answer \(x=8\)

The following word problems consider real world applications. They require to model a given situation in the form of an equation.

Example 18.3

a) Due to inflation, the price of a loaf of bread has increased by \(5 \%\). How much does the loaf of bread cost now, when its price was \(\$ 2.40\) last year?

Solution: We calculate the price increase as \(5 \% \cdot \$ 2.40 .\) We have

\[5 \% \cdot 2.40=0.05 \cdot 2.40=0.1200=0.12\nonumber\]

We must add the price increase to the old price.

\[2.40+0.12=2.52\nonumber\]

The new price is therefore \(\$ 2.52\).

b) To complete a job, three workers get paid at a rate of \(\$ 12\) per hour. If the total pay for the job was \(\$ 180,\) then how many hours did the three workers spend on the job?

Solution: We denote the number of hours by \(x\). Then the total price is calculated as the price per hour \((\$ 12)\) times the number of workers times the number of hours \((3) .\) We obtain the equation

\[12 \cdot 3 \cdot x=180\nonumber\]

Simplifying this yields

\[36 x=180\nonumber\]

Dividing by 36 gives

\[x=\frac{180}{36}=5\nonumber\]

Therefore, the three workers needed 5 hours for the job.

c) A farmer cuts a 300 foot fence into two pieces of different sizes. The longer piece should be four times as long as the shorter piece. How long are the two pieces?

\[x+4 x=300\nonumber\]

Combining the like terms on the left, we get

\[5 x=300\nonumber\]

Dividing by 5, we obtain that

\[x=\frac{300}{5}=60\nonumber\]

Therefore, the shorter piece has a length of 60 feet, while the longer piece has four times this length, that is \(4 \times 60\) feet \(=240\) feet.

d) If 4 blocks weigh 28 ounces, how many blocks weigh 70 ounces?

Solution: We denote the weight of a block by \(x .\) If 4 blocks weigh \(28,\) then a block weighs \(x=\frac{28}{4}=7\)

How many blocks weigh \(70 ?\) Well, we only need to find \(\frac{70}{7}=10 .\) So, the answer is \(10 .\)

Note You can solve this problem by setting up and solving the fractional equation \(\frac{28}{4}=\frac{70}{x}\). Solving such equations is addressed in chapter 24.

e) If a rectangle has a length that is three more than twice the width and the perimeter is 20 in, what are the dimensions of the rectangle?

Solution: We denote the width by \(x\). Then the length is \(2 x+3\). The perimeter is 20 in on one hand and \(2(\)length\()+2(\)width\()\) on the other. So we have

\[20=2 x+2(2 x+3)\nonumber\]

Distributing and collecting like terms give

\[20=6 x+6\nonumber\]

Subtracting 6 from both sides of the equation and then dividing both sides of the resulting equation by 6 gives:

\[20-6=6 x \Longrightarrow 14=6 x \Longrightarrow x=\frac{14}{6} \text { in }=\frac{7}{3} \text { in }=2 \frac{1}{3} \text { in. }\nonumber\]

f) If a circle has circumference 4in, what is its radius?

Solution: We know that \(C=2 \pi r\) where \(C\) is the circumference and \(r\) is the radius. So in this case

\[4=2 \pi r\nonumber\]

Dividing both sides by \(2 \pi\) gives

\[r=\frac{4}{2 \pi}=\frac{2}{\pi} \text { in } \approx 0.63 \mathrm{in}\nonumber\]

g) The perimeter of an equilateral triangle is 60 meters. How long is each side?

Solution: Let \(x\) equal the side of the triangle. Then the perimeter is, on the one hand, \(60,\) and on other hand \(3 x .\) So \(3 x=60\) and dividing both sides of the equation by 3 gives \(x=20\) meters.

h) If a gardener has \(\$ 600\) to spend on a fence which costs \(\$ 10\) per linear foot and the area to be fenced in is rectangular and should be twice as long as it is wide, what are the dimensions of the largest fenced in area?

Solution: The perimeter of a rectangle is \(P=2 L+2 W\). Let \(x\) be the width of the rectangle. Then the length is \(2 x .\) The perimeter is \(P=2(2 x)+2 x=6 x\). The largest perimeter is \(\$ 600 /(\$ 10 / f t)=60\) ft. So \(60=6 x\) and dividing both sides by 6 gives \(x=60 / 6=10\). So the dimensions are 10 feet by 20 feet.

i) A trapezoid has an area of 20.2 square inches with one base measuring 3.2 in and the height of 4 in. Find the length of the other base.

Solution: Let \(b\) be the length of the unknown base. The area of the trapezoid is on the one hand 20.2 square inches. On the other hand it is \(\frac{1}{2}(3.2+b) \cdot 4=\) \(6.4+2 b .\) So

\[20.2=6.4+2 b\nonumber\]

Multiplying both sides by 10 gives

\[202=64+20 b\nonumber\]

Subtracting 64 from both sides gives

\[b=\frac{138}{20}=\frac{69}{10}=6.9 \text { in }\nonumber\]

and dividing by 20 gives

SOLVING WORD PROBLEMS USING SUBSTITUTION METHOD

In this section, you will learn how to solve linear linear equations in two variables using the concept substitution.

We use the following steps to solve a system of linear equations.

Solve one of the equations for one of its variables.

Substitute the expression from step 1 into the other equation and solve for the other variable.

Substitute the value from step 2 into either original equations and solve for the variable in step 1.

Problem 1 :

Solve 2x  + 3y  =  11 and 2x - 4y  =  -24 and hence find the value of "m" for which y  =  mx + 3.

2x + 3y  =  11 ----------- (1)

2x - 4y  =  -24 ----------- (2)

Find the value of one variable in terms of other variable

3y  =  11 - 2 x

y  =  (11 - 2 x)/3

Let us apply the value of y in (2),

2x - 4(11 - 2x)/3  =  -24

14x - 44  =  -24 (3)

14x - 44  =  -72

 14x  =  -72 + 44

14x  =  - 28

Divide 14 on both sides, we get

x  =  -2

Substitute x  =  -2  in the equation y  =  (11 - 2 x)/3

y  =  [11 - 2(-2)]/3

y  =  15/3

Now we have to apply these values in the equation

y   =  m x + 3 

5  =  m (-2) + 3

5  =  -2 m + 3

-2m  =  2

-2 m  =  2

m  =  2/(-2)

m  =  -1

Problem 2 :

Form the pair of linear equations of the following problems and find their solution by substitution method.

(i) The difference between two numbers is 26 and one number is three times the other. Find them

Let the two numbers are "x" and "y"

Difference between two number is 26

x - y  =  26 -------- (1)

One number is three times the other

x  =  3 y -------- (2)

Let us apply (2) in (1)

3 y - y  =  26

2 y  =  26

Divide by 2 on both sides, we get

y  =  13

By applying the value of y in (2), we get

x  =  3 (13)

x  =  39

So, required two numbers are 39 and 13.

Problem 3 :

The larger of two supplementary angles exceeds the smaller by 18 degrees. Find them

Let the two supplementary angles are "x" and "y"

Sum of these two angles is 180

 x + y  =  180 -----(1)

the larger angle exceeds the smaller by 18

 x  =  y + 18 -----(2)

Now,we are going to apply the value of x in the first equation

y + 18 + y  =  180

2y  =  180 - 18

2y  =  162

y  =  162/2

 y  =  81

 x  =  81 + 18

 x  =  99
