ALG U5 L8: Modeling with Systems of Equations Part 3

Setup and solve a system of equations for each problem below.

1.) Jane is 4 times as old as Karen. Jane’s age decreased by Karen’s age is 21. Find the age of each.

j = 4k 4k – k = 21 j = 4k
j – k = 21 3k = 21 j = 4(7)
k=7 j = 28

Karen is 7 years old. Jane is 28 years old.

2.) The sum of the ages of two sisters is 32 years. The difference in their ages is 4 years. Find the age of each.

a + b = 32 2a = 36 18 + b = 32
a–b=4 a = 18 b = 14

The sisters’ ages are 14 and 18.

3.) There were 100 more balcony tickets than main-floor tickets sold for a concert. The balcony tickets sold for
$4 and the main-floor tickets sold for $12. The total amount of sales for both types of tickets was $3056. Find
the number of balcony and main-floor tickets sold.

b = m + 100 4(m + 100) + 12m = 3056 b = 166 + 100


4b + 12m = 3056 4m + 400 + 12m = 3056 b = 266
16m + 400 = 3056
16m = 2656
m = 166

166 main-floor tickets were sold and 266 balcony tickets were sold.

4.) A local theater is showing an animated movie. They charge $5 per ticket for a child and $12 per ticket for an
adult. They sell a total of 342 tickets and make a total of $2256. Determine how many adult and how many
child tickets were sold.

5c + 12a = 2256 5c + 12a = 2256 c + 78 = 342


c + a = 342 -5c – 5a = -1710 c = 264
7a = 546
a = 78

78 adults tickets 264 child tickets
