Which of the following is the correct solution to the system of linear equations?

 $5x+6y=50$  
 $x-6y=-26$  

• (6, 10/3)

• (6,5)

• (4,5)

• (4,-5)

Describe the error in solving the system of equations using elimination:

• They eliminated the x terms when they should have eliminated the y terms.

• The subtracted 5x and x to get 4x, but they should have added the x terms to get 6x = 24.

• They added 16 and 8 to get 24, but they should have subtracted them to get 8 on the right side of the equation.

• They eliminated the y terms, but they couldn't because one is a negative and one is a positive.

What is the correct y-value for the solution to the following system of linear equations?
 $-3x-5y=-7$  
 $-4x+5y=14$  

• (1,2)

• (-1,2)

• (1,-2)

• (-1,-2)

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
