Solve for x: 7x + 3 = 4x - 7
x = -10/3
15
Solve for y: 16 + 5y = 31
y = 3
10
Solve for y: 5(-2) + 8y = -42
y = -4
15
Eliminate one of the variables: -3x + 8y = 14 5x + 8y = -10
-8x = 24 or 8x = -24
15
Eliminate one of the variables: -2x + 5z = 20 -2x + 6z = -5
-z = 25 or z = -25

Write an equation: Jeremy has a bunch of coins in his pockets, all dimes and quarters. They are worth $2.70. (Let d be the number of dimes and q be the number of quarters.)
10d + 25q = 270 or .10d + .25q = 2.70
15
Solve for x: 3x + 2(8) = 22
x = 2
10
Eliminate the variable y: x - 2y = 3 -7x + 6y = -45
-4x = -36
15
-4x + 5y = 35 If y = -1, what is x?
x = -10
