Ms. Kitts works at a music store. Last week she sold 6 more than 3 times the number of CDs that she sold this week. Ms. Kitts sold a total of 110 CDs over the 2 weeks. Which system of equations can be used to find l, the number of CDs she sold last week, and t, the number of CDs she sold this week?

• l + t = 108

  l = 3t + 6

• l = 3w 2

  (l + w) = 85

• 2s + 3b = 156

  s = b + 8

• m + n = 54

  m = 3n + 8
