Section A — Multiple Choice Questions 5 × 1 = 5 marks
1.
A pair of linear equations in two variables has how many variables?
  • A.$1$
  • B.$2$
  • C.$3$
  • D.$4$
2.
In substitution, we express one variable in terms of the:
  • A.constant
  • B.other variable
  • C.coefficient
  • D.sum
3.
In elimination, we add or subtract to remove a:
  • A.constant
  • B.equation
  • C.variable
  • D.sign
4.
The solution of $x+y=5,\ x-y=1$ is:
  • A.$x=3,\ y=2$
  • B.$x=2,\ y=3$
  • C.$x=4,\ y=1$
  • D.$x=1,\ y=4$
5.
A consistent pair of equations has at least one:
  • A.variable
  • B.solution
  • C.constant
  • D.graph
Section B — Short Answer (2 marks) 4 × 2 = 8 marks
