    A. none of the these
    B. consistent and independent
    C. consistent and dependent
    D. independent
    Hint

  8.   Use substitution to solve the system x – 3y = 2 and y = x.
    A. (2, 3) B. all ordered pairs
    C. (3, 2) D. no solution
    Hint

  9.   You are making chocolate chip cookies. Normal butter has 12 g of fat per serving and low-fat margarine has 6 g of fat per serving. You need to use 4.5 servings of butter, and you want the final amount of fat in the cookies to be 45 g. How much of each type of butter do you need to use?

    C. normal butter: 1.5 servings, low-fat margarine: 3 servings
    D. normal butter: 0.5 servings, low-fat margarine: 4 servings
    Hint

  10.   Use elimination to solve the system 4y + 2x = 10 and y + 2x = 1.
    A. (3, -1) B. (-3, 1)
    C. (-1, 3) D. (1, -3)
    Hint
