PLEASE HELP!!

Elizabeth creates the following system of equations to determine how many apples, a, and oranges, r, she should buy when she goes to the farmer’s market.

Select one:
A. Yes, her solution is correct; yes, her solution is viable in context.
B. Yes, her solution is correct; no, her solution is not viable in context.
C. No, her solution is incorrect; yes, her solution is viable in context.

Answer:

A.

Explanation:

3a+3r=6

a-r=4

+r. +r

12+3r+3r=6

6r=-6

r=-1
