3x + y − 2z = −5,
2x − y + 3z = 20,
gives
5x + z = 15.
4x − 3y + 7z = 46,
3x + y − 2z = −5,
2x − y + 3z = 20.
4x − 3y + 7z = 46,
9x + 3y − 6z = −15.
5x + z = 15,
13x + z = 31.

5x + 250 = 6x − 750
5x − 6x = −250 − 750
−x = −1000
x = 1000.

of the balloons in a jar are blue, and the rest are red. If there are 54 blue
balloons, how many red ones are there?
17
: 99 , so
since there are 54 blue balloons, there must be 99 red balloons.
6
= 9 batches of balloons, so there are
9 ⋅ 11 = 99 reds, since there are 11 reds in each batch.

0.5y − 0.25y = 6,
so 0.25y = 6.

You're doing well tonight, so I'm going to give you a problem from the American Invitational Math Exam. This is the second test in a
series of tests that determines the US math team in high school. The test is 15 questions and 3 hours long. Let's see if we can
handle one of these problems.
