HOW IT WORKS
Each round will have 3 questions. The topics for the
three questions will be listed at the beginning. You
will be able to wager 1, 2, and 3 points once each
per round. For instance, if you bet 3 points on the
first question, you cannot use it again that round. In
the 2nd round, points are doubled. In the 3rd round,
points are tripled. At the end of three rounds, the
team can pick how much to wager for the final
question. Winner is whoever ends up with the most
points.
ROUND 1: POINT VALUES ARE 1, 2, AND 3
Q1: Solving 1-variable equation
Q2: Identifying algebraic properties
Q3: Solving inequality
Q1: SOLVING 1-VARIABLE EQUATIONS
3(x – 7) + 2 = 5x + 6
IDENTIFYING ALGEBRAIC PROPERTIES
What algebraic property does the following show?
5x + -5x = 0
Q3: SOLVING INEQUALITIES
Josephine has x nickels in her pocket. She knows that
she doesn’t have enough to pay $1.25 for a
Snickers bar. Solve an inequality to represent how
many nickels she may have in her pocket.
ROUND 2: POINT VALUES ARE 2, 4, AND 6
Q1: Solving System of Equations
Q2: Identifying Algebraic Property
Q3: Graphing Linear Equation
Q1: SOLVING SYSTEM OF EQUATIONS
Solve the following system of equations
y = 5x + 6
2x – 2y = 20
Q2: IDENTIFYING ALGEBRAIC PROPERTIES
𝟔𝒙 − 𝟕 = 𝟑𝒙 + 𝟐𝟏
−𝟑𝒙
− 𝟑𝒙
What property is demonstrated above?
Q3: GRAPHING LINEAR EQUATIONS
3x – 8y = 16
If you were to graph this equation, what would the
slope and y-intercept be?
ROUND 3: POINT VALUES ARE 3, 6, AND 9
Q1: Writing System of Equations
Q2: Graphing Inequality
Q3: Identifying Algebraic Properties
Q1: WRITING SYSTEM OF EQUATIONS
At the homecoming football game, the Senior Class
officers sold slices of pizza for $.75 each and
hamburgers for $1.35 each. They sold 40 more
slices of pizza than hamburgers, and the sales
totaled $292.50. How many slices of pizza did they
sell?
Write a system of equations to represent the scenario
above. Don’t forget to define your variables.
Q2: GRAPHING LINEAR INEQUALITY
Joseph has 2 jobs: Subway and Publix. He earns $5
per hour at Subway and $8 per hour at Publix. If he
needs to earn at least $400, show graphically all
possible hour combinations he could work. (Subway
should be on the x-axis and Publix on the y-axis)
Q3: IDENTIFYING ALGEBRAIC PROPERTIES
𝟓𝒙 = −𝟐𝟎
𝟓
𝟓
What property is used above?
FINAL ROUND: SOLVING SYSTEM OF EQUATIONS
The teacher will now tell you how many points you have
earned. You may wager up to that number of points.
Please print that number on your sheet and bring it
up to her now.
FINAL QUESTION: SOLVING SYSTEM OF
EQUATIONS
