#1

Which of the following represents a real-life application of linear equations?

Determining the cost of ingredients for a recipe
Explanation

Linear equations can model costs based on quantities.

#2

In a bakery, the total cost ($C$) of producing $x$ loaves of bread is given by the equation $C = 2x + 50$. What does the $50$ represent in this context?

The fixed cost of operating the bakery
Explanation

The constant term represents fixed costs in the equation.

#3

A store sells shirts for $25 each and pants for $40 each. If a customer buys $200 worth of clothing, and the total number of shirts and pants bought is 8, how many shirts did the customer buy?

6 shirts
Explanation

Using a system of linear equations to find quantities of items.

#4

Solve the following system of linear equations:
$2x + y = 7$
$3x - y = 5$

x = 1, y = 5
Explanation

Solving a system of linear equations for variable values.

#5

A car rental company charges a flat fee of $50 plus $0.25 per mile driven. If a customer's total bill was $150, and they drove 300 miles, how many miles did they drive?

600 miles
Explanation

Using linear equations to calculate the total based on a fixed fee and variable rate.

#6

Which of the following situations could be modeled using a linear equation?

Cost of purchasing multiple items at different prices
Explanation

Linear equations can model costs for items with varying prices.

#7

What is the solution to the equation $3(2x - 4) = 18$?

x = 3
Explanation

Solving a linear equation with distribution and simplification.

#8

Which of the following statements is true about the solution to a system of linear equations with two variables?

There can be multiple solutions
Explanation

Systems of linear equations may have more than one solution.

#9

In a certain company, the number of full-time employees is $20$ more than twice the number of part-time employees. If there are $x$ part-time employees, what is the total number of employees in the company in terms of $x$?

$3x + 20$
Explanation

Expressing the total number of employees using a linear equation.

#10

Which of the following statements is true about consistent and inconsistent systems of linear equations?

A consistent system always has exactly one solution
Explanation

Consistent systems of linear equations have a unique solution.

#11

Which of the following represents the solution set to the system of equations:
$2x + 3y = 12$
$4x + 6y = 24$?

Infinite solutions
Explanation

System of equations with dependent equations has infinitely many solutions.

#12

In a system of linear equations, if the determinant of the coefficient matrix is zero, what can be said about the system?

The system has infinitely many solutions
Explanation

Zero determinant indicates infinitely many solutions in a system of linear equations.
