Pencils are $0.10 each and pens are $0.25 each. If Raj wants to buy a combination of pencils and pens, but he only has $50 to spend, which equation can help him to determine the x, amount of pencils he can buy and the y, amount of pens he can buy?

• 0.25x + 0.10y = 50

• 0.25x - 0.10y = 50

• 0.10x + 0.25y = 50

• 0.10x - 0.25y = 50

A football team scored a total of 60 points in one game.  They scored 18 times.  The scoring was made up of touchdowns (6 points), PATs (1 point), and field goals (3 points).  They had five more touchdowns than field goals.  If x represents touchdowns, y represents points after touchdowns (PATs), and z represents field goals, write a system of equations that can be used to determine how many of each score the team obtained?
