Last season two running backs on the Steelers football team rushed for a combined total of 1550 yards. One rushed for 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?
y = 4x
y = x + 4
y = 4x
y = x + 4
5c + 10d = 16.50
