Solutions to Try Its
1. Not a solution.
2. The solution to the system is the ordered pair [latex]\left(-5,3\right)[/latex].
3. [latex]\left(-2,-5\right)[/latex]
4. [latex]\left(-6,-2\right)[/latex]
5. [latex]\left(10,-4\right)[/latex]
6. No solution. It is an inconsistent system.
7. The system is dependent so there are infinite solutions of the form [latex]\left(x,2x+5\right)[/latex].
8. 700 children, 950 adults
Solutions to Odd-Numbered Exercises
1. No, you can either have zero, one, or infinitely many. Examine graphs.
3. This means there is no realistic break-even point. By the time the company produces one unit they are already making profit.
5. You can solve by substitution (isolating [latex]x[/latex] or [latex]y[/latex] ), graphically, or by addition.
7. Yes
9. Yes
