Name: Work Arsivers Period: Solving systems of equations word problems worksheet For all problems, define variables, write the system of equations and solve for all variables. The directions are from TAKS so do all three (variables, equations and solve) no matter what is asked in the problem. *CRUCK 1. A large pizza at Palanzio's Pizzeria costs $6.80 plus $0.90 for each topping. The cost of a large cheese pizza at Guido's Pizza is $7.30 plus $0.65 for each topping. How many toppings need to be added to a large cheese pizza from Palanzio's Pizzeria and Guido's Pizza in order for the pizzas to cost the same, not including tax? X=#ut toppings y= cost of piza y = 90x+6.80 y=x+ =65x+7.30 90x+680=65x+730 25x=50 (x=2 toppings $8.60 gipterons 2. Ms. Kitts works at a music store. Last week she sold 6 more than 3 times the number of CDs that she sold this week. Ms. Kitts sold a total of 110 CDs over the 2 weeks.

The cost for 2 tacos and 3 small glasses of milk is $5.15. Which pair of equations can be used to determine the cost of a taco, and bf, the cost of a small glass of milk?
