Question

2 aaliyah has regular chairs and 3-legged stools for a party. she has 9 seats all together which makes up 33 legs. which system of equations can be used to find the number of regular chairs, c, and the number of stools, s, she has?

f \\(\

$$\begin{aligned} c + s &= 33 \\\\ 4c + 3s &= 9 \\end{aligned}$$

\\)

h \\(\

$$\begin{aligned} c + s &= 33 \\\\ 4s + 3c &= 9 \\end{aligned}$$

\\)

g \\(\

$$\begin{aligned} c + s &= 9 \\\\ 4c + 3s &= 33 \\end{aligned}$$

\\)

j \\(\

$$\begin{aligned} c + s &= 9 \\\\ 4s + 3c &= 33 \\end{aligned}$$

Answer:

• F \(

$$\begin{cases} c + s = 33 \\ 4c + 3s = 9 \end{cases}$$

\)

• **G \(

$$\begin{cases} c + s = 9 \\ 4c + 3s = 33 \end{cases}$$

\) (Correct answer)**

• H \(

$$\begin{cases} c + s = 33 \\ 4s + 3c = 9 \end{cases}$$

\)

• J \(

$$\begin{cases} c + s = 9 \\ 4s + 3c = 33 \end{cases}$$
