Solve by Graphing- 500
2x + 7y =14
5x + 7y = -7
What you should have is
y=-2/7x + 2
y= -5/7x -1
If you enter those into a graphing tool it should give you an intersection point of (-7,4).

You pay $24.50 for 10 gallons of gasoline and 1 quart of oil at a gas station. Your friend pays $22 for 8 gallons of the same gasoline and 2 quarts of the same oil. Find the cost of 1 quart of oil?
These are the equations for the problem:
24.50=10g + 1q
22=8g + 2q
To solve the equation I did a little bit of guess and check. What I did is 10 x 2= 20 then I did 24.50-20=4.50, but I knew that wasn't right because the quarts would be greater than the price per gallon. So I came up with
G=2.25
Q=2.00
24.50=10(2.25) + 1(2.00)
24.50=22.50 + 2.00
24.50=24.50
Solving Word Problems-500
Since one person paid 6 hours and one paid 4, I looked for common multiples. I multiplied each of them by 12 and got 72 and 48. I subtracted 72 from 87 and got 15, then subtracted 48 from 63 and also got 15.
Flat Fee=$15
Cost per hour=$12
