Question

Answer within 2 minutes

Answer 1

Let x and y be the number of yards each team runned. In a way that y>x.

Combined they runned 1550 yards, so:

`x+y=1550`

And one of them is 4 times higher than the other, so:

`x = 4\cdot y`

So the system will be:

`\begin{cases}x+y=1550 \\y = 4x \\\end{cases}`

Answer 2

blue option

Explanation:

4 times as many as the other

total of 1550 yards

x and y represent the individual players' yards rushed

y+x=1550

or

x+y=1500

and

y=4x

or

x=4y

the option we have is x+y=1500 and y=4x, which is option blue
