A music store rents instruments to students at the local middle school. Each trumpet rents for $10 a month and each drum rents for $5 a month. The monthly income is $100 and the total number of kids who rent instruments is 12. Write and solve a system of equations to find the number of trumpets rented () and the number of drums rented (y).

Equation- $100 = $10(x) + $5(y)
Solve- 8 trumpets and 4 drums
$100 = $10(8) + $5(4)
80 + 20
$100
