Emeka is a professional fitness instructor who will be teaching classes at a local gym. To get certified as an instructor, he spent a total of $500. Emeka will be earning a base salary of $100 per month from the gym, plus an additional $20 for every class he teaches. If Emeka teaches a certain number of classes during his first month as an instructor, he will earn back the amount he spent on certification. How many classes will that take?
Write a system of equations that models this situation, graph it, and type the solution.

To start, we want to write two equations that model this situation. Those equations are:
(where c is the number of classes Emeka teaches)
The graph of these two equations is below:
Finally, the intersection of these two lines is associated with the total number of classes Emeka needs to teach to break even. We can see that the intersection is at (20, 500). Therefore, after teaching 20 classes, Emeka will have made $500 from the gym and broke even on his investment.

Based on the graph, you can see that the purple line has the equation 
based on the fact that it goes through the points (0,0) and (1,-1). The red line goes through the points (0,-4) and (1,-1). We can see that its slope is 
and its y-intercept is at -4. Putting this into y=mx+b slope intercept form, we get 
. Therefore, this graph is the solution to the system of equations

Alf and Tanner are having a workout competition. Whoever completes the most workouts in a month gets $25 from the other. Alf has already completed 4 workouts, whereas Tanner has finished 2 of them. Going forward, Alf has committed to completing 2 workouts per week, and Tanner has committed to completing 3 per week. At some point soon, the two friends will have completed the same number of workouts. How many workouts will that be?

Recognize that the intersection of two lines occurs when the two lines meet at the same point - that is, where their x- and y-coordinates are the same. So you can find the point of intersection by simply solving the system. Here that is likely best done through the Elimination Method. If you stack the equations:
3x - 2y = 0
4x+3y = -17
You should see that you have a negative y term in the first equation and a positive y term in the second. That means that if you can get the coefficients of y to be the same, you can sum the equations and eliminate the y-term altogether. To do that, multiply the top equation by 3 and the bottom equation by 2 so that your y-coefficients are each 6:
3(3x - 2y = 0) --> 9x - 6y = 0
2(4x + 3y = -17) --> 8x + 6y = -34
When you sum the equations, then, you arrive at:
17x = -34
Which means that x = -2.
Then plug x = -2 into one of the equations. If you use the first, you'll get:
3(-2) - 2y = 0
Meaning that:
-6 - 2y = 0
-6=2y
y = -3
Since the point of intersection is (-2, -3), with both coordinates negative, the point will lie in Quadrant III.

Based on the graph, you can see that the purple line has the equation based on the fact that it goes through the points (0,0) and (1,-1). The red line goes through the points (0,-4) and (1,-1). We can see that its slope is and its y-intercept is at -4. Putting this into y=mx+b slope intercept form, we get . Therefore, this graph is the solution to the system of equations
