ACTIVITY 3
Application of Systems of Linear Equations

Solve completely.

1.) The first number is 5 less than three times the 2.) One number is 3 more than another number. If three
second number. Twice the first number plus the times the larger number is two more than four times
second number is 137. Find the two numbers. the smaller number, find the two numbers.

3.) Two coin banks contain only dimes and quarters.
There are 25 coins in the first bank. The value of
the coins in the second bank is $5, and it contains
5 fewer dimes and 3 more quarters than the first
bank. Find the number of dimes and the number
of quarters in the first bank.
4.) A landscaping company placed two orders with
a nursery. The first order was for 13 bushes and
4 trees, and totalled $487. The second order was
for 6 bushes and 2 trees, and totalled $232. The
bills do not list the per-item price. What were
the costs of one bush and of one tree?
