3x + y - z = 0
2x - y + 3z = -7
The owner of a small business borrows money on three separate credit cards: x dollars on his Master card, y dollars on his Visa, and z dollars on his American Express card. These amounts satisfy the following equations:
1.18 + 1.15y + 1.09z = 11,244.25
3.54x - .55y + .27z = 3,732.75
.06x + .05y + .03z = 414.75

Use this example to answer question:
Ellen McGillicuddy plans to invest a total of $100,000 in a money market account, a bond fund, an international stock fund, and a domestic stock fund. She wants 60%of her investment to be conservative (money market and bonds). She wants the amount in international stocks to be one-fourth of the amount in domestic stocks. Finally she needs an annual return of $4000. Assuming she gets annual returns of 2.5% on the money market account, 3.5% on the bond fund, 5% on the international stock fund, and 6% on the domestic fund. How much should she put in each investment?
Suppose that Ellen McGillicuddy in the example finds that her annual return on the international stock fund will be only 4%. Now how much should she put in each investment?
Shipping charges at an online bookstore are $4 for one book, $6 for two books, and $7 for three to five books. Last week, there were 6400 orders of five or fewer books and total shipping charges for these orders were $33,600. The number of shipments with $7 charges was 1000 less than the number with $6 charges. How many shipments were made in each category (one book, two books, and three-to-five books)?
Work the following problems by writing and solving a system of equations.
1. Kate borrows $10,000. Some is from her friend at 8% annual interest, twice as much as that from her bank at 9%, and the remainder from her insurance company at 5%. She pays a total of $830 in interest for the first year. How much did she borrow from each source.
2. An auto manufacturer sends cars from two plants, I and II, to dealerships A and B, located in a mid-western city. Plant I has a total of 28 cars to send, and plant II has 8. Dealer A needs 20 cars, and dealer B needs 16. Transportation costs based on the distance of each dealership from each plant are $220 from I to A, $300 from I to B, $400 from II to A, and $180 from II to
B. The manufacturer wants to limit transportation costs to $10,640. How many cars should be sent from each plant to each of the two dealerships?
