8. Books and magazines. At Gwen's garage sale, all books were one price, and all magazines were another price. Harriet bought four books and three magazines for $1.45, and June bought two books and five magazines for $1.25. What was the price of a book and what was the price of a magazine?

9. How are the planes positioned when a system of linear equations in three variables is independent?

10. Solve:
2x-y+3z =14
x+y-2z =-5
3x+y-z = 2

11. Solve:
2x-y = -8
y+3z = 22
x-z = -8
