Math 8 Unit 4b: Writing & Solving Systems of Equations

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?

• 4a + 6b = 3

  13.5a - 13b = 6

• a + b = 4

  a - b = 6

• 4a + 6b = 13

  3a + 7b = 13.5

• 4a - 6b = 13

  3a - 7b = 13.5
