A company has two molds to form tires.  Mold A  has a setup cost of $600 and the cost to make each tire is $15.  Mold B has a setup cost of $1,100 and the cost to make each tire is $13.  When comparing the cost of making the two tires, after what point will the tires made from Mold B actually be less expensive to make than the tires made from Mold A? 
 
          (a)  State an equation that represents both setups. Graph both equations and find the point of intersection of the graphs.  Use a graphing calculator or click here for a link to an online grapher.  Note:  You may need to zoom "out" to view the point where the two graphs cross each other.
 
          (b)  State the ordered pair that is the "breaking point", the point after which making the tires with Mold B is less expensive than making the tires with Mold A.  Check the ordered pair by substituting the coordinates for x and y in each equation to make sure each results in a true statement.
 
          (c)  At how many tires and at what cost will the fees for making the tires from the two molds be the same?

Solving Systems by Substitution

In the following problems, use the substitution method to solve the systems of equations. State the solution as an ordered pair if there is one solution.  If there are no solutions, state "No Solution."  If there are many solutions, state "Many Solutions."


11) Solve by using substitution and state the solution as an ordered pair.  Show all of the steps used to determine the solution.

17) A rancher raises five times as many cows as horses.  If he has 168 cows and horses, how many cows does he have?  Complete the equations shown below, and then use substitution to solve. 
 
Let c represent the number of cows and h represent the number of horses.
 
            Equation 1:      c = __h
            Equation 2:      c + h = __
