Concert Tickets: Tickets for a concert cost $10 each if you order them online, but you must pay a service charge of $8 per order. The tickets are $12 each if you buy them at the door on the night of the concert, with no service charge.

a. Write a system of equations to model the situation. Let c be the total cost. Let t be the number of tickets.

b. Graph the equations and find the intersection point.

Writing: Suppose you graph a system of linear equations. If a point is on only one of the lines, is it a solution of the system? Explain.
No; A point must be on both lines to be a solution of the system.
Yes; As long as the point is on at least one line, it is a solution of the system.
Reasoning: Can a system of two linear equations have exactly two solutions? Explain.
No; Two lines can not intesect in exactly two places. They must intersect in 0, 1, or infinitely-many places (aka overlap one another). This means that a system of linear equations must have 0, 1, or infinitely-many solutions.
Yes; Two lines may intersect at exactly two places. This means that a system of equations may have exactly 2 solutions.
Reasoning: Suppose you find that two linear equations are true when x = -2 and y = 3. What can you conclude about the graphs of the equations? Explain.
You can conclude that the graphs of the linear equations will share the common point (-2, 3).
You can conclude that the graphs of the linear equations will have at least 2 points of intersection.
You can conclude that one of the graphs is a horizontal line and that the other is a vertical line.
