Erin is 3 years younger than twice Alex's age. Their ages combined are 33 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 = 33
  y = 2x - 3

• x + y = 33
  x = 2y - 3

• x + y = 33
  x = 3 - 2y

• x + y = 3
  x = 33 - 2y

Write two equations that you could use to solve the following problem. Trey's online music club charges a monthly fee of $20 plus $0.80 per song downloaded. Deb's club charges a monthly fee of $21 plus $0.60 per song. For what number of songs will the monthy charge be the same.

• 20 = .80x
  21 = .60x

• y = 20x - 0.80
  y = 21x - 0.60

• y = .60x + 20
  y = .80x + 21

• y = .80x + 20
  y = .60x + 21

• -3x + -3y = 6

• -6x + -6y = 6

• -6x + -6y = -18

• -6x + 2y = 18
