Maya had $32. She spent all the money on buying 4 books for x dollars each and 2 magazines for y dollars each. If Maya had bought 5 books and 2 magazines, she would have been short $4. Which system of equations represents this situation? (1 point)

Group of answer choices


4x + 2y = 32 and 5x + 2y = 4


4x + 2y = 32 and 5x + 2y = 36


4x − 2y = 32 and 5x − 2y = 36


4x + 2y = 36 and 5x − 2y = 4

Answer:

4x + 2y = 32 and 5x + 2y = 36

Explanation:

We know that she spent $32 on 4books and 2 magazines, so the first equation is

4x + 2y = 32

Second, we know that 5 books and 2 magazines are short $4, so the total cost is $36. So, the second equation is

5x + 2y = 36

So, the answer is 4x + 2y = 32 and 5x + 2y = 36
