Larry
Discount $6 = $40 x < $60
Freds theory: If they double
their discount
Tony
If Tony spends (20 x 2 ) $40 = $6 discount
(His discount doubles)
If Tony spends ($30 X 2) = $60 = $9 discount
His discount triples
Larry
If Larry spends ($40 X 2 ) = 80 = $12 discount
His discount doubles
If larry spends ($55 x 2 ) = 110 = $15 discount
His discount is more than doubles
Random Value for x
Initial spend 55$ = $6 discount
Double the purchase $110 = $15 discount
In this case the discount more than doubles.

Fred is right for his friend spend the at the beginning of the
interval but not at the end

variables
Comparison Method
Either x or y are along on one side for each equation
4x + 5 = 6x - 7
y = 4x + 5
y = 6x 7
Substitution Method
Elimination Method
Both Variables are on the same side of the equal sign
-3x + 7y = 8
-3x + 7y = 8
Double the
28x - 7y = 42
-4x + y = -6
equation
25x = 50
System of Equations
Comparison method
The first method is the
COMPARISON METHOD
It is used when you have two
equations both in the form
y=ax+b
Because both y values have to
be the same at the point of
intersection we can make the
two expressions equal to
each other. Solving this
expression will give you the
value of x.

Since the equations are both written in
the form y= ax + b

Substitution method
The second method is the
SUBSTITUTION METHOD
It is used when you have one
equation in the form y= or
x=
When one variable in one
equation is isolated replace
what the isolated variable is
equal to into the other equation..
Solving this new expression will
give you the value of one of the
two variables.

System of Equations
Substitution Method
y = 2x 1
3x +4y = 18
Y is isolated in the first equation so we plug it
into the second equation solve for x
3x + 4(2x-1) = 18
3x + 8x 4 = 18
11x 4 = 18
11x = 22
x=2
variables the same value in both equations. Then either add the equations or
subtract one equation from the other (whichever is appropriate) to form a
new equation that only contains one variable. This is referred to as
eliminating the variable
Ex.
2X + 3Y = 15
4X 3Y = 3
6X = 18
X = 3 2(3) + 3Y = 15
6 + 3Y = 15
3Y = 9
Y=3

Step 1:
-3y + 4x = 11
y + 2x = 13
3(y + 2x) = 3 13
3y + 6x = 39
Step 2:
-3y + 4x = 11
3y + 6x = 39
10x = 50
x=5
Step 4:
(5, 3)
Step 3:
Solve for
y + 2(5) = 13
y + 10 = 13
y =3
Solving Systems of
Equations
2x - 3(500 x) = 750
2x - 1500 + 3x = 750
5x 1500 = 750
5x = 2250
x = 450
3. Solve for y
500 + y = 450 + 2y
50 = y
4. No solve for the third
scale
750 + 450 = 900 +
100 + ?
1200 = 1000 + ?
200 = ?
200 = 4 spheres
