Systems of Linear Equations: Word Problems

Give students practice writing and solving systems of linear equations based on word problems with this eighth-grade algebra worksheet! Students can solve the systems of equations in each problem using any method, including graphing, substitution, or elimination. If students choose to graph the systems of equations, they will need a sheet of graph paper. Systems of Linear Equations: Word Problems is a great way for students to gain practice defining variables and algebraically or graphically solving systems of equations based on real-world problems, which are both beneficial skills for higher-level math courses.
