I lost my paper for the Math Riddle Pizazz page 167 about solving systems of equations and I no longer have the problems. (It is the "did you hear about the farmer who gave birdseed to his cows..." page)
What are the math problems for it?
I'm sorry to hear that you lost your paper. Unfortunately, as an AI, I don't have access to specific documents or textbooks like Math Riddle Pizazz. However, I can still help you understand how to solve systems of equations, which might be the core concept being covered in that specific page.
To solve systems of equations, you generally have two different equations with multiple variables. The goal is to find the values of those variables that satisfy both equations simultaneously. There are a few different methods to solve systems of equations, but two common ones are substitution and elimination.
In the substitution method, you solve one equation for one of the variables, and then substitute that expression into the other equation. This leads to an equation with only one variable, which can be easily solved. Once you have the value of that variable, you can substitute it back into one of the original equations to find the value of the other variable.
In the elimination method, you manipulate the equations so that when you add or subtract them, one of the variables is eliminated. To do this, you might need to multiply one or both equations by a constant to create opposite coefficients for one of the variables. After eliminating one variable, you can then solve the resulting equation for the remaining variable.
These are just brief explanations of the methods. It would be helpful to have the specific systems of equations from the Math Riddle Pizazz page you mentioned in order to provide a more accurate response. I would recommend reaching out to your teacher or classmates to see if they can provide you with the specific problems, or checking for any online resources that might have similar exercises on solving systems of equations.
