A large pizza at Palanzio’s Pizzeria costs $6.80 plus $0.90 for each topping. The cost of a large cheese pizza at Guido’s Pizza is $7.30 plus $0.65 for each topping. Which system of equations could be used to find the number of toppings when both companies cost the same amount?
y = 6.80 + .65x
y=7.30+.90x
x + y = 6.80
x + y = 7.30
y = 6.80+.90x
y = 7.30 + .65x
y + .90x = 6.80
y + .65x = 7.30

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
