Part 1: The 8th grade shop class decided to make stools and chairs for their woodworking project. Each stool had 3 legs and each chair had 4 legs. They completed 7 all together and used 24 legs for the project.

The system of linear equations x + y = 7 and 3x + 4y = 24 represents the problem, where x is the number of stools and y is the number of chairs.

To graph this system of equations, there are two methods we can use – tables or x and y intercepts.

1. Tables – complete the following tables and find the solution. (4 points)

x + y = 7 3x + 4y = 24
