7. passing through (-6, 1) and (2, 5) 8. passing through (-2, 1) and (-2, 7)
IV. Determine the solutions of the following linear systems of equations using the indicated
methods. If there are no solutions, write inconsistent. If there are infinitely many
solutions, write dependent.

VIII. Use a linear system of equations to solve each of the following problems.
27. Rocko sold 39 tickets to the Moss County Jail’s production of “I Ain’t No Killer.” General
admission tickets were $24.50 each and advance tickets were $18.00 each. If he
collected a total of $806.00, how many of each kind of ticket did he sell?
28. Vinnie “invested” $32,000 of his hand-earned money in two questionable deals. He
invested part of his money in a casino promising a return of 18% simple interest, and
the rest of his money in the sale of “hot” TV’s promising 25% simple interest. If he
expects to make a total of $7160 after one year, how much is he investing in each deal?
