to previous learning: Linear Equation means:

A system of linear equations means:

Example 1:

a) Create a linear system to model this situation:

The stage at the Lyle Victor Albert Centre in Bonnyville, Alberta, is rectangular. Its perimeter is 158 ft. The width of the
stage is 31 ft. less than the length.

b) A student, Sebi, has determined that the stage is 55 ft. long and 24 ft. wide. Use the linear system from part a) to
verify that Sebi is correct.

Example 2:

a) Create a linear system to model this situation:

A school raised $140 by collecting 2000 cans and glass bottles for recycling. The school received 5¢ for a can and 10 for
a bottle.
