2. Some tasks
Here we have some tasks for solving
systems of linear equations.
We hope that it’s a help for the next class
test or other things. Some tasks haven’t got
solutions but we hope that isn’t a problem.

3. bakery
Yesterday I bought at the bakery three
breads and 5 rolls for 4,10 euros. Today I
bought 5 breads and 2 rolls for 5,80 euros.
O How expensive is one bread and one
roll?
4. Solution:
bakery
Bread x
Roll y
3x+5y= 4,10
5x+2y= 5,80
3x+5y= 4,10 /-5y
3x= 4,10-5y /:3
x = 1,37-1,67y
5x+2y= 5,80 /T
6,85-8,35y+2y= 5,80 /T
6,85-6,35y= 5,80 /-6,85
-6,85y= -1,05 /:6,85
-y=-0,153 /*(-1)
y=ca. 0,153 euro
3x+5y=4,10 /T
3x+0,765=4,10 /-0,765
3x=3,34 /:3
x= ca. 1,11 euro
5. Icehockey in Belarus
It’s icehockey worldchampionschip in Belarus. To the
first game, which was Germany against Russia, 2340
adults and 780 children came. The organisators
earned 50700€. The return match was watched by
2520 adults and 360 children. In that game they
earned 51480€.
O How much does an entrance ticket cost for an
adult and how much does a child have to pay?
O How many children were visiting the game (in
percent)?
6. Solution:
Icehockey in Belarus
a)2340x + 780y = 50700 |-2340x
780y = 50700 – 2340x |:780
y = 65 – 3x
2520x + 360y = 51480 |-2520x
360y = 51480 – 2520x |:360
y = 143 – 7x
65 – 3x = 143 – 7x |+7x
65 + 4x = 143 |+65
4x = 78 |:4
x = 19,5
y = 6,5
Answer: An adult have to pay 19,5€ and a child have to pay 6,5€.
b)First game:
2340 + 780 = 3120
3120 = 100 %
31,2 = 1 %
780 : 31,2 = 25 %
Second game:
2520 + 360 = 2880
2880 = 100%
28,8 = 1%
360 : 28,8 = 12,5%
