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

Two spiders are climbing up a wall. The first one is at a height of 8 feet from the ground and climbs at a speed of 6 feet per minute. The second is at a height of 20 feet from the ground and climbs 3 feet per minute.

What equation will best represent the total height of each spider?

• y = 6x + 8

  y = 20x + 3

• y = 6x + 8

  y = 3x + 20

• y = 8x + 6

  y = 3x + 20

• y = 6x - 8

  y = 3x - 20
