1. Alejandro was in school 161 miles away from his friend, J.J. He drove an average of 50 mi/h toward J.J.'s school. J.J. drove 65 mi/h toward Alejandro's school. Where did they meet, and when? Two equations express the distance from J.J.'s school, d, in terms of time, t: d = 161 – 50t and d = 65t %3D |

ACTIVITY 2 Understanding the Substitution Method
Use the substitution method to solve the following problems. Use the context and a table or
graph to explain what you are substituting and why it makes sense to do so. Make sure you
explain what the solution means.
1. Alejandro was in school 161 miles away from his friend, J.J. He drove an average of
50 mi/h toward J.J.'s school. J.J. drove 65 mi/h toward Alejandro's school. Where did

Two equations express the distance from J.J.'s school, d, in terms of time, t:
161
d = 161 – 50t and d = 65t

2. Stephanie and Julieta went shopping for workout clothes. All the T-shirts were
the same price. All the shorts were the same price. Stephanie bought 2 T-shirts
and 2 pairs of shorts for a total of $32.98. Julieta bought 3 T-shirts and 1 pair
of shorts for a total of $31.49. What was the cost of each T-shirt and each pair
of shorts?
Two equations express the total spent by each girl in terms of the number of T-shirts
purchased, t, and the number of shorts purchased, s:
2t + 2s = $32.98 and 3t +s = 31.49
