Christian had brochures printed for a new business venture. Christian originally ordered 4 boxes of black-and-white brochures and 3 boxes of colour brochures, which cost a total of $134. After those ran out, Christian spent $120 on 3 boxes of black-and-white brochures and 3 boxes of colour brochures. Which system represents this situation?

• x+y=134
  x+y=120

• 3x+3y=134
  4x+3y=120

• 4x+3y=134
  3x+3y=120

• 7xy=134
  6xy=120
