Last season two running backs on the Steelers football team rushed a combined total of 1550 yards.  One rushed 4 times as many yards as the other.  Let x and y represent the number of yards each individual player rushed. Which system of equations could be used? 

• x + y = 1550
  y  = 4x
• x + y = 1550
  y = x + 4
• y - x = 1550
  y = 4x
• y = 1550 + x
  y = x + 4

Ride and Transport are two new ride sharing companies in Colorado. Ride is charging $2 for pick up fees and then $2.50 per mile (m). Transport is charging only $2.70 per mile. How many miles will it take for both companies to charge the same amount (c)? Which system of equations could be used? 

• C = 2m + 2.50

  C = 2.70

• C = 2 + 2.50 m

  C = 2.70m

• C = 2.50 m + 2.70 m

  C = 2

• C = 2.50 + 2.70

  C = 2m
