Writing and solving systems of linear equations

There are 15 animals in a barn.  These animals are horses and chickens.  There are 44 legs in all.  Which system of equations represents the situation?

• x + y = 15
  4x + 2y = 44
• 4x + 2y = 15
  x + y = 44
• x = 2y + 44
  4x = y + 15
• 2x - 4y = 44
  x - y = 15

Erin is 3 years younger than twice Alex's age. Their ages combined are 33 years. How old are Alex and Erin. If x=Erin's age and y=Alex's age, choose the system that matches the situation.

• x + y = 33
  y = 2x - 3
• x + y = 33
  x = 2y - 3
• x + y = 33
  x = 3 - 2y
• x + y = 3
  x = 33 - 2y

Nancy went to the grocery story. On Monday she purchased 4 apples and 6 bananas for a total of $13. On Wednesday she purchased 3 apples and 7 bananas for a total of $13.50. Which system of equations represents the situation?

• 4x + 6y = 3

  13.5x - 13y = 6

• x + y = 4

  x - y = 6

• 4x + 6y = 13

  3x + 7y = 13.5

• 4x - 6y = 13

  3x - 7y = 13.5
