Solve this system of equations without graphing: \(\begin{cases} 5x+2y=29 \\ 5x - 2y= 41 \\ \end{cases}\)

Here is a system of linear equations: \( \begin{cases} 6x+21y=103 \\ \text-6x+23y=51 \\ \end{cases}\)

Would you rather use subtraction or addition to solve the system? Explain your reasoning.

Kiran sells \(f\) full boxes and \(h\) half-boxes of fruit to raise money for a band trip. He earns \$5 for each full box and \$2 for each half-box of fruit he sells and earns a total of \$100 toward the cost of his band trip. The equation \(5f + 2h = 100\) describes this relationship.

Solve the equation for \(f\).

Match each equation with the corresponding equation solved for \(a\).

The volume of a cylinder is represented by the formula \(V=\pi r^2h\).

Find each missing height and show your reasoning. 

Match each equation with the slope \(m\) and \(y\)-intercept of its graph.

Solve each system of equations.

1. \(\begin{cases} 2x+3y=4 \\ 2x = 7y + 24\\ \end{cases}\)

2. \(\begin{cases} 5x + 3y= 23 \\ 3y = 15x - 21 \\ \end{cases}\)

Elena and Kiran are playing a board game. After one round, Elena says, "You earned so many more points than I did. If you earned 5 more points, your score would be twice mine!" 

Kiran says, "Oh, I don't think I did that much better. I only scored 9 points higher than you did."

1. Write a system of equations to represent each student's comment. Be sure to specify what your variables represent.
2. If both students were correct, how many points did each student score? Show your reasoning.
