Question: Zorah, a musician, pays $120 to have her instrument tuned and $10 per hour for a booth at a fair. She estimates that she earns $25 per hour in tips. The equation can be used to represent the break-even point.
120 + 10x = 25x
How many hours, x, will Zorah have to play in order to break even?
Answer: 8
Question: An aircraft travels with the wind for 120 miles in 0.75 of an hour. The return trip is flown against the wind and takes exactly 1 hour.
Which system of linear equations represents x, the speed of the plane in miles per hour, and y, the speed of the wind in miles per hour? Recall the formula d = rt.
Answer: 0.75(x + y) = 120
x − y = 120
