x+y=87
1.5x+0.5y=87
1.5x+0.5y=87
x+y=87
2s + 3c = 52
3s + 2c = 52
s + c = 52
1s + 2c = 52
.10d + .05n = 80
d + n = 6.60
.10d + .05n = 6.60
.05d + .10n = 6.60
The difference between Alex's age and Erin's age is 7. The sum of their ages is 27 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 = 27
x + y = 7
x - y = 7
x + y = 27
x + y = 7
x + y = 27
x + y = 34
x - y = 20
Christian originally ordered 4 boxes of blue T-shirts and 3 boxes of red T-shirts, which cost a total of $134. After he ran out, Christian spent $120 on 3 boxes of blue T-shirts and 3 boxes of red T-shirts.
Let x = the price of a box of blue T-shirts
Let y = the price of a box of red T-shirts
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

Which system of equations represents the situation?
x - y = -10
x + y = -2
x = -2
y = 5
x + y = -2
x - y = -10
x + y = -10
x - y = -2
