Question

Johnathan has a bag full of 14 balls to sell. He sells the baseballs for $2 dollars and the volleyballs for $5 and earns a total of $43. If the baseballs are represented by x and the volleyballs are represented by y, which of the following systems of equations can be used to calculate the number of baseballs and volleyballs sold?

2x + 5y = 43
x+y=14
Awnser x=9 and y=5
(2 x 9) + (5 x 5) = 43
5+9=14
