There are 15 animals in a barn. These animals are horses and chickens. There are 44 legs in all. Which system of equations represents the situation?
x + y = 15
4x + 2y = 44
4x + 2y = 15

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?
4x + 6y = 3
13.5x - 13y = 6
x + y = 4
x - y = 6
4x + 6y = 13
3x + 7y = 13.5
4x - 6y = 13
3x - 7y = 13.5
