For lunch, Amanda had a hamburger and some potato chips. The hamburger totaled 325 calories and each chip had 12 calories. Write a liner equation to represent the situation.

• y = 12 + 325

• y = 12x  + 325

• y = 325 - 12x

• y = 325x + 12

Margo is taking a 160-point history test that has a total of 50 questions. Some of the questions are worth 6 points each, and the others are worth 2 points each. Which system of linear equations could be used to find, s, the correct number of six-point questions, and t, the correct number of two-point questions answered correctly?

• s + 6 = 160

  6t + 2s = 50

• 6s = 2t

  s + t = 160

• 6s = 2t

  6s + 2t + 50 = 160

• s + t = 50

  6s + 2t = 160

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

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

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
